[TriLUG] NC spam laws?

Hey y'all

I was recently spammed by a PA consulting company who had very 
obviously harvested my email address off of a local Linux user group in 
Philadelphia.  The spam was sent to my TriLUG account.  The spammer had 
been asked once directly by email to stop spamming me, and he chose to 
ignore that request.

So I'm thinking along the lines of filing a claim in the jurisdiction 
that the TriLUG server sits in (Durham County?) and see if the guy even 
bothers to show up.  I'm wondering what kind of recent legislation has 
been enacted, if any, and if so what sorts of minimum retributions are 
provided for?

Anyone here tried this yet?
