    There's more to this story...

    Unspam and Matthew Prince do a lot to both track down and go after spammers and other malicious folks.

    When politics and bureaucracy are brought into the mix there are bound to be differences or complications as may be the case here.

    It's no secret that Matthew Prince has made enemies in in various Direct Marketing circles (see: DirectMag and the rest of the site for more garbage about Unspam).

    The article linked about this case is just a PR piece propagated by the DirectMag folks from how it reads. I'm not saying everything was done the way it should have been but it sounds pretty far from malicious.
