Did you see the first criminal prosecution of spam distributors ?

Jurors in Virginia recommended that the man, Jeremy Jaynes, serve nine years in prison and that his sister, Jessica DeGroot, be fined $7,500.

Is 9 years too much or too little? When I attempt to estimate how much time I spend each day deleting spam and bounces returned to non-existent email addresses on my domain, when you look at the time and the cost of fighting this rotten spam, I could cheerfully turn the key in the door.
