Major spammer settles suit for $1 million

A major spammer who was accused of sending up to 25 million e-mails per day has settled a lawsuit with Microsoft and the state of Texas.

The settlement has cost Ryan Pitylak $1 million, as well as the seizure of many of the assets he accumulated during a short-lived career as one of the world's worst spammers.

At the peak of his spamming activity, the 24-year-old Texas resident was listed as the world's fourth most-prolific spammer by antispam group Spamhaus.

Not enough. People like this should be sentenced to at least 6 months is jail + penalty + lack of access to any computer systems for 5 years.

Agreed. And forced to read/sort/delete spam/junk mail (snail mail) while in jail.

What people like that cost society in terms of lost productivity, bogged servers, personal aggravation and frustration is mind boggling...

I second the banning of use of a computer for 5 years. Also, jail should be mandatory, and a fine of 2x the profit he made doing the spamming should be likewise standard...

Because SPAM affect all of us !, As a Mac user I though we should know about it also.

These guys piss me off.When they do get caught it is a dollar fine, no time.
How about setting an example and having his damn hands surgically removed!
That would send a message!

Atleast he has seen the light and is turning from the darkside. He still needs some jail time i think.

And now hes found a way to make money off of what he has learned by starting a company.

[nn_step]

I think he needs to be publically executed, in the most horrible of manners

[ocmyface]

they should peel his eyes open and subliminally force feed him all the spam he sent to people. clockwork orange style. man he would be fkd up when he got done with that















then chop his hands off

i think the solution is

for every mail they sent just cut a little piece of the spammer body.... something pretty small with 25 million emails he will suffer a lot

Yes, and please allow me to choose from where to start

[stayfrosty]

eh no time or anything paid to the state.. he should just have to pay everyone he sent an email to 10$

As a punishment, he should be made to eat it every day for every meal for the rest of his life.
