Time and time again, anyone can open their e-mail box and click over to their Spam folder to find every possible kind of entertainment filth imaginable. No one knows who this crap even comes from, much less why you’re getting it. Well…law enforcement has, and it means jail time for two now-felons. Jeffrey Kilbride and James Schaffer were each sentenced to over 5 years in federal prison for porn-spamming people in the past few years. That practice yielded them over $2 million since 2003, of which $1.1 million was forfeited to the court, along with $100k in fines apiece, and $77,500 paid to AOL for harrassing its customers. To make matters worse, Kilbride went so far as to prevent a witness from testifying. These guys sure sound like real winners. At least our Spam filters can rest easy keep working as hard as ever.
