Snail Mail Spam From the 'Domain Registry of America'

Submitted by Bevan Rudge on January 8, 2008 - 10:07pm.

My first spam by snail mail:
letterhead of letter from 'Domain Registry of America'
more photos and full letter

What's up with that? Has 'Domain Registry of America' got enough funding to do this seriously? Is anyone else getting spammed from their virtual life by snail mail?

Kill your catalogs

Submitted by Owen Barton on November 23, 2007 - 11:24pm.

I have found that we always get sent a bunch of catalogs, without ever signing up for any (personally, I blame magazine subscriptions...but who knows!).

Anyway, this free service called Catalog Choice just launched that lets you unsubscribe from any catalog (without having to call annoying phone lines).

Bill Moyers has an interesting interview with one of the organizers of the project.

A John Doe Law Suit I can get behind!

Generally I think that John Doe law suits are bad. The RIAA has used them to find out the identities of alleged illegal file sharers. I never thought I would read about one that I actually could support. But today I read about a lawsuit filed by Project Honey Pot against John Doe spammers. The class action suit seeks $1 Billion in damages.
