Help The Feds Decide How Long Spammers Should Spend In Jail
from the now,-stop-drooling dept
It seems like a dangerous thing to do to ask for public input on how long spammers should go to jail for. It seems, these days, if you ask the average person, they might not have any real problem with a life sentence for some of the worst spammers (while also forcing them to sit at a computer hitting the damn delete key over and over again). Still, the folks who put together sentencing guidelines for federal crimes need to figure out exactly what deceptive spamming techniques deserve what kind of prison sentence, and they're asking the public for help.

Alas, won't be enough.
The Spammer's damage is debatable, as the spammers claim already they "do not damage" while the anti-spam list the damage in the billion's of US Dollars.
The lack of firm numbers will keep the fines low and the jail time minimal.

Maybe having them manually filter spam all day every day of their prison sentence would be a good thing...no filters, nothing...let them hunt through 2000+ messages daily hunting for their prison correspondence (and notification of release and parole hearings) and THEN let them tell me that I can "just hit delete"
