[pchelpers] News:Pair jailed for five years in landmark 'spamming' case

13/10/2007 - 08:46:40

Two US men who sent millions of unsolicited pornographic emails have
been sentenced to more than five years in prison as part of the first
prosecution under a federal anti-spam law.

Jeffrey Kilbride of Venice, California, and James Schaffer of Paradise
Valley, Arizona, purchased email addresses and sent the owners of those
addresses links to pornographic websites, prosecutors said.

They were found guilty in June of charges including conspiracy, money
laundering, fraud and transportation of obscene materials after a
three-week trial and were sentenced by a federal judge in Phoenix this
week.
