No no, silly. Ziroc is not suing you. I am talking about this. http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/04/28/in....ap/index.html
In this news brief, it says that four people are being sued for e-mail junk, such as phoney weight loss drugs, spamming a million people. This will hopefully slow down the rate of crap we receive in our inboxes daily.

That is great news, but I'd so much rather they focused on nabbing those responsible for adware, spyware, bots, pop-ups, homepage-hijackers etc. A spam email is deleted in one click but that stuff is becoming such a massive problem lately - there's more of it by the day.

Wouldn't this be more along the lines of sales fraud, or something?

Great! I believe individual people who recieve tons of spams from these people should sue those people too. that'll teach them a lesson.

i once thought about opening a class action lawsuit against one of the pop up companies for harassment. i mean, they have an ad that keeps popping up even if you close it... if some salesman kept coming to your door after you told him to stay off your property then you could press charges.
I bet it would work.

about friggin' time somethings done about this problem...the WaS(war against spam...hey, we've got war against terrorism already
) is the first step in this war against harrassing computer...thingies(such as unwanted popups, spyware, adware etc.). I wonder if the war will be over in the next few millenia...
