Aaron,

   Theoretically, that's true. In Oregon you can even ask for triple
damamges. We tried that once, but got nowhere. The only person I know who
made a little money from suing -- and stopped a portion of his fax spam --
is a Vancouver lawyer. He let me use his letter content, but since his
letterhead showed the threat came from a lawyer, the spammers paid more
attention to him than they did to me.
