Fight Spammers With Slime

from the spam-vs.-slime dept

We were recently talking about the Australian spammer who was suing someone who accused them of spamming on his website. It seems that supporters of the guy being sued have decided their best defense might be to start a "slime campaign" against the spammer. They're planning protests at seminars held by the spamming company. It will be interesting to see how well this works. I wonder if they'll also start sending the guy who runs the company unsolicited mail telling him to drop the lawsuit.

    Journalist/Film Maker/Activist Michael Moore on one of his TV shows, repeatedly called up a telemarketer at home and tried to sell him stuff. The telemarketer got upset that he was being bothered at home.
