Anti-Spam: Spam king settles with Texas, Microsoft
In the Spam and bulk mailing world, the Internet’s #4 largest spammer, Ryan Pitylak, makes a legal settlement with Microsoft. In his blog, he responds to the media attention, and I feel its fair ground to send him your feedback, and atleast read his point of view; very rarely does a spammer show his true colors. In my opinion, and a lot of internet users, spammers are almost as bad a burglars and theives (of our Inbox), however it takes more tenacity and character to admit your wrongdoings and apply your blackhat skills for whitehat deeds. I can only forgive his obnoxious spams in my box, if he can singlehandedly snake out other large spammers and root their boxes and turn them in.
