RICHMOND, Va. -- The Virginia Supreme Court has declared Virginia's anti-spam law unconstitutional and overturned the conviction of a North Carolina man once considered one of the world's most prolific junk emailers.
In an unanimous ruling Friday, the court agreed with Jeremy Jaynes's claim that the anti-spam law violates free speech protections under the First Amendment.
In 2004, Mr. Jaynes became the first person in the country to be convicted of a felony for sending unsolicited bulk email, also known as spam. Authorities claimed Mr. Jaynes sent up to 10 million emails a day from his home in Raleigh, N.C. He was sentenced to nine years in prison.
Mr. Jaynes was charged in Virginia because the emails went through an AOL server in Loudoun County, where America Online is based.
