Summary: This article analyzes the CompuServe v. Cyber Promotions opinion that relied on trespass to chattels to find a spammer liable. The author warns that this theory of trespass is not a logical conclusion and could conceivably be applied to non-commercial or objectionable material on the internet, creating a sort of "anti-commons."
