I decided to do a search and see if our old friend has been up to anything interesting. It's from January, but I didn't see where it had been posted here. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11388328 --- Quote ---Such a case came to a close at Manukau District Court last week, in what was the first defended anti-spam case in New Zealand, and the first civil pecuniary penalty application to be heard through to completion. It began back in July 2012, when Auckland man Zeljko Aksentijevic sent 2230 commercial electronic messages that included links to his free Android app Crazy Tilt Arcade Challenge, largely to members of an internet gaming forum, following an online argument. The emails were mainly abusive in nature but also contained links to a webpage promoting the app. Aksentijevic had also sent the emails from a number of different email addresses in an attempt to keep his identity anonymous. Even after being put on notice by the Department of Internal Affairs, he continued to send emails. In ordering him to pay $12,000 last week, Judge Charles Blackie singled out the hostile nature of his emails as an aggravating factor, remarking that breaching the act was one thing but "adding a veneer of abuse" was another. --- End quote --- --- Quote ---Last Tuesday: Auckland man Zeljko Aksentijevic fined $12,000 plus costs in the Manukau District Court after sending 2230 commercial electronic messages that included links to his free Android app Crazy Tilt Arcade Challenge, largely to members of an internet gaming forum, following an online argument.
