Tunisian bl0gger finally released from
prison after hunger strikes, alleged
torture
11/18/2003 03:14 PM35-year-old Tunisian
blogger
Zouhair Yahyaoui, imprisoned since June 2002 for criticizing the
Tunisian government on his weblog, was released on parole this
morning. An overjoyed Sophie Elwarda -- his fiance, who campaigned
tirelessly for his release -- tells BoingBoing:
"Zouhair returned to
his family's home shortly after his release. This morning even, he was
still unaware of this decision and thus has just stopped the hunger
strike he started on November 2nd. He is very weak and suffers from
his dental abscess due to poor medical care in prison, but seemed to
be in a good mental state when he talked to us on the phone and thanks
all those who have been supporting his case during all these months.
He does not forget the people he left behin him and said to one of his
friends: "Two years are nothing compared to the long sentence of some
of my fellow prisoners ". I can only express a very great happiness
to know he is free, at his place finally, after this year and half of
battle.
I thus dedicate my joy to all those who, by their thought, their
messages of support (to which I sometimes forgot to answer), their
presence, their combativity, their perseverance, allowed this day to
come and that I write, finally, the press release I've always dreamed
of ! I also dedicate it to all NGOs which supported Zouhair (by
regard for those that I might forget, I do not make the list), to all
the journalists who have been the echo of our voice, to his courageous
family and to all those forming what Zouhair calls "his XXL family".
And if I had only one hope to express, it would be this one: May this
press release be REALLY the last !"

Lawsuit Will Hold Public Debate
05/20/2004 11:41 PMJulian Haight, the founder of anti-spam service SpamCop, and Scott
Richter, the founder of spamming service OptInRealBig, are currently
in the middle of a fairly nasty
legal
battle over whether or not SpamCop can block OptIn's spam. Still,
the two have
agreed to appear together in public and debate the topic.
Both of their lawyers say that the debate will avoid the issue of the
lawsuit, but as the article points out, that seems unlikely. The
thing is, in listening to what both sides have said over the years,
you already know what they're going to say in this debate - and
they're talking at cross purposes. The spammers focus on their right
to make money, while everyone else talks about their right to be left
alone. The problem with the spammers' position is that they
don't have the right to make money. They have the right to
try to make money, but if it involves pissing everyone off, and
everyone decides to create and use filters to make email bearable
again - then that's their right too.

The Phillies Spammer
The Phillies Spammer
01/04/2005 08:49 AMTrial begins for Phillies fan accused of e-mail
hacking: Being a crazy sports fan is one thing. Spoofing the
email address of area sportwriters and spamming everyone, apparently,
is not.
But yesterday, Carlson sat alone in a federal courtroom in
Philadelphia, the accused boo-bird who hijacked the e-mail addresses
of area sportswriters and sent out tens of thousands of anti-Phillies
cyber-rants in their names.
"Like a lot of people, he was not happy about the fact that the
Phillies were not winning," Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael L. Levy
said in his opening statement to the jury. "But Mr. Carlson... decided
to do something more. He launched an electronic attack against the
Philadelphia Phillies and Philadelphia Newspapers Inc."
They're charging him with identify theft under federal law. He
sent 100,000 emails, one of which resulted in 60,000 bounces to a
local sports columnist.

05/27/2004 03:22 PMContinuing in my quest for a spam-free mailbox, I have become more and
more interested in the way(s) spammers collect their victim's
addresses. In fact, I routinely receive junk mail in various languages
I don't even understand (Chinese, German, Korean, Brazilian, and God
knows what else), let alone having any relationship whatsoever with
those countries. So I started thinking how the heck some email
addresses of mine ended up in those spamming lists.

Spammer discussion
01/12/2004 01:53 AMBlog and guestbook spammers are discussing spam techniques in this
Usenet thread found by Andy
Baio.
It’s an interesting read. One of the main characters is a
moron who shows his ignorance at every turn. There are many claims
that what they are doing is Search Engine Optimization (SEO). There
are legitimate SEO companies, and there are guys like these. If you
are hiring a SEO company, make sure you know what techniques they are
using or you might end up with a site marketed in the same manner as
the porn and prescription drug schemes they are discussing.
They also linked to my AP News
article on spam. So they know we’re watching.

In a mix of true detective work and a little high tech knowhow, a

is really nothing explaining how the perpetrator was caught in the
first place. Is this to be kept as a well guarded secret?…
