[ga] Texas Goes After Student Spammer. To bad we can't say the same for ICANN.

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All former DNSO GA members or other interested stakeholders/users,

Count Texas in the growing list of states fighting spammers with
CAN-SPAM. [0]Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott filed the
lawsuits today, [1]charging a University of Texas student
(and a cohort in California) with sending out millions of unsolicited
commercial emails under the pseudonyms PayPerAction and
Leadplex, among others. [2]Spamhaus rates PayPerAction
the #4 spammers in the world.

  Let me be the first to thank our Atty. Gen. for doing his
duty and aiding in the fight against spam.  I hope this will
stand as a shining example of how other government
agencies and their contracted agents such as ICANN
of how and what to do.  However with ICANN I am
not holding my breath...
