A brother and sister who sent junk email to millions of America Online
customers have been convicted in the first felony prosecution of
Internet spam distributors in the United States.
Jurors in Leesburg, Virginia, recommended that Jeremy Jaynes, 30, be
sentenced to nine years in prison and fined Jessica DeGroot, 28, 7,500
dollars (?4,000) after convicting them of three counts each of sending
emails with fraudulent and untraceable routing information.

Nine years for sending spam !! That sounds far too harsh! I wonder how
such complicated mischief is even possible, and it may be that the
system should take a fair share of the blame.
