The Virginia Court of Appeals upheld a state antispam law on Tuesday by affirming the conviction of the first person in the United States to face prison time for spamming.

Jeremy Jaynes was convicted in November 2004 of sending out bulk e-mails with disguised origins and being in possession of a stolen database of more than 84 million AOL subscribers’ addresses. He was sentenced to nine years in prison.

Judge James W. Haley Jr. released an opinion (click for PDF) on behalf of a three-judge panel that struck down all of Jaynes’ appeal arguments.
