Ohio enacted a new anti-spam law that makes illegal a wide variety of activities common among spammer, including falsifying routing information and using unauthorized access to computers to send spam, according to DM News. The law gives prosecutors the ability to put spammers away in jail for six months, fine them $25,000 per violation or levy penalties of $2 to $8 per spam message. Internet service providers are also given grounds to sue in state civil court. The new law follows the form of the federal Can-Spam Act, but like legislation seen in Maryland and Virginia, it institutes tougher penalties.
