A North Carolina man who became the first person in the country to be convicted of a felony for sending unsolicited bulk e-mail, or spam, has had his conviction overturned.
Jeremy Jayne's conviction was overturned after the Virginia Supreme Court declared the states anti-spam law unconstitutional.
The court agreed with the Raleigh man's claim that the anti-spam law violates free speech protections under the first amendment.

Typical bloody yanks. They think that because their constitution guarantees free speech then the whole bloody planet has to put up with stupid unsolicitated spam.
