AOL Wins Judgment Against Spammer

Quote:
America Online won a $5.6 million award against a Minnesota man who sent billions of spam e-mails over the service in 2003 and whose case helped lead to legislation to control spam.

The Minnesota man, Christopher William Smith, 25, was ordered to pay $5.3 million, or $25,000 for every day he sent out spam e-mails, plus $287,059 for America Online's legal fees.

25,000$ for everyday he sent out spam ? Do you really think he made near to this with his spams? Poor guy, he ruined his life
