More coverage of the Mummagraphics case

c|net has some coverage of the Mummagraphics case; see Declan McCullagh's article Court sides with alleged 'vacation' spammer. McCullagh paints a bleak picture in which the CAN-SPAM law will have the devastating effect on spam-fighting that was predicted when it was first enacted. There is also a link to Eric Goldman's evaluation of the case.

There is a discussion of the article on Usenet that's worth reading. Prof. Jonathan Ezor has some good commentary on the article.
