showardkid writes: In a surprise move by spammers worldwide, solicitors of such products as Cialis and representatives from companies such as “Free porn, inc.” have banded together to sue Internet Service such as Earthlink, America Online, and Yahoo! inc.

“We’ve had enough of this,” said a representative from enlarge-it.com. “Our legitimate industry of selling this junk is going down the toilet. How hard is it for a user to simply click the ‘delete’ button and remove the offer that we’ve sent them?”

Lawyers of the Pro-SPAM coalition say that they plan to file a lawsuit and prosecute the companies “to the fullest, hardest, and longest extent of the law.”
