It's slammer time for a spammer.

Daniel Lin of Detroit is expected to be sentenced to at least two years in prison for sending millions of illegal spam emails last April from hacked computers belonging to several major companies and government agencies.

He had faced up to five years on each of two spam counts, but cut a plea deal with prosecutors. He and three other men were accused of flooding the Internet with spam touting "bogus diet aids, herbal remedies and illegally imported erectile dysfunction drugs," according to vnunet.com. The spam scam netted the gang more than $100,000.

While a stretch in the Big House may act as a deterrent to other spammers, I'd like to also see them sentenced to using the products they sell. Just a thought.
