ah, the constitutionally guaranteed right to spam *LOL*

"On Friday, the Virginia Supreme Court upheld the first felony conviction for spamming against Jeremy Jaynes, once listed as the eighth worst spammer in the world by The Spamhaus Project Registry of Known Spammer Organizations."

"The conviction was appealed, but in September 2006, the Virginia Court of Appeals upheld the constitutionality of the Anti-Spam Act, and now the Virginia Supreme Court has followed suit.

Jaynes’ attorneys argued that the Anti-Spam Act violates the First Amendment as well as the interstate commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution. However, the Virginia Supreme Court voted 4-3 to uphold the lower courts’ ruling."
