"Dutch authorities have levied a $97,000 fine on an unidentified man for sending "unsolicited electronic messages to consumers to promote erection enhancement pills, pornographic web sites, sex products and such,"

Now THAT might be a good way of ending spam. Although, I'd imagine that it would be hard to enforce this kind of thing on most spammers, and I doubt the Dutch government is going to get that money anytime soon.

good god,

OPTA said it considered several factors, including the sheer volume of the messages, saying the 9 billion was a "minimum" estimate.

that guy did it for the money, didn't get him anywhere now, too bad for him (not).

Dutch authorities levy fines in USD now? I thought we used euros over here... I must be wrong because after all, I only live here..

But still, way to go authorities! Take that, spam-whores!

The Netherlands outlawed spam in May 2004.

Wow, that actually makes me a little proud of my country.

I think they should also sue Al Gore since he invented the internet.

Oh thank God! I read the title and I thought that you were saying Hormel Spam went bust.
