Question Mark Is 2 years jail enough for spam?

'Spammer cops 2 years in jail'

A US man from the state of New Jersey has been jailed for more than two years for his part in a spamming operation, that sent out millions of unsolicited emails.

Todd Moeller was caught in a sting operation after agreeing to send junk email advertising to around 1.2 million people.

Mr Moeller says he earned tens of thousands of dollars from his work.

I think a fine of a certain amount per email sent out would be in order as well. Hit these jerks where it hurts, in the pocketbook.

Yep! I agree Sazerac. Just like drug dealers hit them in the pocket to help fund the next prosecution.

I say cut off every other finger, be sure to leave the traffic finger in tact he probably uses it a lot.

I would restrict internet access from him for 10 ish years. The way online predators are restricted. Since they didn't molest anyone, cut the jail time but ban them from the web for abusing it. If he's caught violating that, then jail.

I agree jail is to much. Worse crimes get less time or none. Fine and no internet for 10 years.

Hmm but does that mean that the penalty for Spamming should be less, or the penalty for the other crimes should be more?
