arbitraryaardvark's Journal: Virginia Supreme Court hears spam case.

Associated Press reports on a hearing held today in the case of a man convicted of felony spamming. There's no doubt the man, Jeremy Jaynes, was was a major spammer. The issue is whether the statute he was charged under is constitutional - whether Virginia has jurisdiction to regulate speech on the internet, and whether the state can make it a crime to speak anonymously online. There are cases on both sides of both issues, and we don't know what the court will decide.
