Cost of Spam? A Cool Billion -- 10:12 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Our own J sent along word that a group of spamming companies have been ordered to pay one billion dollars for sending junk email. I know the plaintiff will never see all the money, but maybe the suit will put the companies out of business. Sadly, this is the only way to do it. You have to make spam unprofitable. Unfortunately the law frowns on the old "lead pipe to the kneecaps" trick which might also prove effective.
