My Way News - Bail Denied for Alleged 'Spam King'

My Way News - Bail Denied for Alleged 'Spam King': "Federal prosecutors allege that Soloway has sent tens of millions of e-mail messages since 2003 to advertise his company, which offered software to send out broadcast e-mails. For $495, customers could have an ad sent to 20 million e-mail addresses or receive software allowing them to send up to 80 million e-mails. The Spamhaus Project, an international anti-spam organization, listed Soloway as one of about 135 spammers deemed responsible for as much as 80 percent of all junk e-mail." Prosecuting spammers in a very public and severe way is the only thing that's going to slow down the deluge of spam email. I hope to see many other cases worldwide like this one.
