John Cleese Porn in Bra and Panties Spam, Spam,Spam by Barry Artiste

U.S. authorities are thankfully cracking down on spammers, the internet pest who annoy everyone, with recent arrest in the last 5 months.

Two men who made a fortune sending out millions of pornographic spam emails have been sentenced to more than five years in prison.

One of the world's first successful prosecutions against internet 'spammers' has seen two men sentenced to jail in Arizona.

The two, who sent millions of unsolicited pornographic emails and netted millions of dollars, were the subjects of the first US prosecution under new federal anti-spam laws, US Department of Justice officials said.

Jeffrey A Kilbride, of Venice, California, and James R Schaffer, of Paradise Valley, Arizona, bought lists of email addresses and sent the owners links to pornographic websites, prosecutors said. They were convicted of charges including conspiracy, money laundering, fraud and transportation of obscene materials after a three-week trial and were sentenced by a federal judge in Phoenix.

Prosecutors said that after Congress passed a law known as the CAN-SPAM act, cracking down on unsolicited pornographic e-mails, Kilbride and Schaffer tried to make it seem like they were sending messages from abroad by logging in to servers in Amsterdam. But those messages originated from Phoenix, prosecutors said.

Kilbride and Schaffer were also ordered to forfeit $1.3 million (around £650,000).

Three other men charged in the case pleaded guilty and testified against Kilbride and Schaffer.

In a similar earlier case in May of this year, the "Spam King" Robert Soloway was accused of mail fraud, wire fraud, e-mail fraud, aggravated identity theft and money laundering. If convicted as charged, he could face decades in prison.
