As ugly as this sounds - I'd pay the $500 first and go after the spammer in court later. It seems a small price to pay in comparison to the ill will it is generating. Also - by the time he stops it through legal channels the damage will be long done.

According to him, he naively hired a spammer to send out email for them. When he learned a bit more about what was going on and received may complaints, he called and cancelled his order. He also called AMEX to get his money back since he was told that his email was being sent to an opt-in list ( yeah, right.). Long story short, the spammer is demanding $500 to STOP sending the email. The guy already paid him $500 once before and now they're demanding more money! Wild. Any ideas on what this guy can do? I told him to get a new domain and close the old one but his videos and materials have his domain plastered all over them.
