Yes, Dr. Grubor - it's been implicated in Jan Isley's (spit) Usenet vote fraud:
I did not know about that. I was speaking of another incident when a user from that domain sent something to my pgh.org (chop)
(Alternatively, he can even e-mail 6 more issues of worthless advice to tho who caughed up the $20, so they can't complain. It would be hard to prosecu Igor without proving that all 8 newsletters were published by the same pers who's been giving contradictory advice to different people.)
But what Law would you charge him with? Unless you could prove his "intent" I see no way that you could ever prove any case against him.
The intent is to defraud, but shouldn't absolute free speech protect fraud and libel?
Fraud always must have theft connected with it, so it is a crime, but libel is never any crime, and is only civil. Freedom of speech is no defense to any criminal charge, but may be to a civil one. -jg
