Not Illegal To Ask Your Fans To Spam A Judge... Though, Still Not Particularly Smart
from the spam-spam-spam-spam dept
Earlier this year, we noted that infomercial king Kevin Trudeau was sentenced to 30 days in jail for contempt of court after asking his "fans" to email the judge in a case in which Trudeau is battling the FTC. The contempt charge is a bit tricky, because it's difficult to see what's wrong with having people email a publicly available judge. And, indeed, it appears that the contempt charge has been overturned and Trudeau won't have to go to jail over it after all. That said, it still doesn't seem particularly wise to ask people to spam a judge who's in charge of determining your fate.

This Judge should see the stuff I get delivered every day in my Spam box that I ignore.
Maybe it's a problem with him ignoring certain things. Who knows. Maybe he needs a hug from his son who told him to go fuck a goat. It's anyone's guess at this point.

Sometimes it does take something like this to wake people up. Otherwise is passed over. Words of wisdom folks, never take it lying down.

So you're right that it may not be a very good idea, but it also may be illegal.
