Canning spam

How often do you open your email and find the majority of the mail is spam?

Under a Washington state law enacted in March 1998 and amended in May 1999, it is illegal to send a commercial e-mail message that uses a third party's domain name without permission; that contains false or missing routing information; or with a false or misleading subject line. The law applies if a message is sent from within Washington; if the sender knows that the recipient is a Washington resident; or if the registrant of the domain name contained in the recipient's address will confirm upon request that the recipient is a Washington resident.

Read on to find out how one Washington resident made $31,575 by suing spammers.
