AOL spammer found guilty

SPAM. Just the physical way the word looks in our inbox makes us cringe. Forget about a few spam emails a day, some of us are lucky enough to get hundreds! And who do we have to thank? Herbal remedies, Viagra suppliers, and just plain junk. The war is still waging in the legal system today, and thankfully another goof has pleaded guilty.

A 26 year old man has pleaded guilty to sending spam advertisements for a product. Not just to any users however, they targeted AOL users. Concealing the source of the spam along the way, over 1.2 million emails were sent out. The law stepped in, and now sentencing will take place this September. This email happy spammer could see up to 11 years in prison, along with a fine of $250,000. Is this the end? Most likely not, but I'm sure it will deter many from getting into "the business".
