An Internet site that provides personal information about an alleged purveyor of mass e-mail is not harassment and does not need to be removed, a Maryland district court judge ruled yesterday. Francis Uy, a tech specialist at Johns Hopkins University, posted the site to expose the activities of George A. Moore Jr., owner of Maryland Internet Marketing Inc. in Linthicum.

[Moore] received dozens of products in the mail that he never ordered, including about 200 unwanted magazines and catalogues

LOL! These spamming losers always get so indignant when they get some of their own medicine....

I HATE spam with a passion, but it's no worse than regular junk mail. I have the ability to discard both without looking at them. Spam just dissapears. I have to deal with the piles of junk mail. There is more spam than junk mail, but it's much easier to get rid of. I can set up my email program to filter out a ton of the spam, which my mailbox so far refuses to do.

Nonsense. The costs of regular junk mail are paid by the sender. The costs of spam are paid by the recipient.

It's theft of service, and its perpetrators belong in jail.

It's recyclable! And if it comes with a business reply envelope, you can send it back.
