The decision also tossed out the conviction of a North Carolina man once described as one of the worlds most prolific spammers. In 2004, Jeremy Jaynes of Raleigh, N.C. was the first person convicted under the law, enacted in 2003. Jaynes sent tens of thousands of e-mails through America Online servers in Loudoun, Virginia. Loudoun Circuit Court Judge Thomas D. Horne sentenced him to nine years in prison. Just six months ago, the same court upheld the anti-spam law by a 4-3 margin. But Jaynes's attorneys asked the court to reconsider, typically a long shot in appellate law, and the court not only reconsidered but changed its mind. The court overturned the law because it sought to outlaw all forms of unsolicited e-mail, not just commercial junk mail. In contrast, the Federal CAN-SPAM Act limits the restriction to messages used to promote a business or other financial gain. Jaynesemails were all commercial. But Jaynes sought to overturn the law itself as unconstitutional. Jaynes is currently in prison from an unrelated matter. Virginia Attorney General Bob McDonnell said he intends to appeal the case to the U.S. Supreme Court. At least 38 states have laws regulating spam.
