We believe that SOPA and PIPA greatly undermine the First and Fourth Amendments of the United States Constitution.
We received more informations on the spam purporting from LinkedIn. It is obvious the emails do not come from LinkedIn. Email sender can easily be spoofed.
From the email headers:
Received: from static.3.100.40.188.clients.your-server.de ([188.40.100.3])
Received: from titan361.startdedicated.com ([62.75.229.17])

The spam even dares to say:
Stop spamming me!
If you see any mails purporting from LinkedIn, do not click on any of the links. As a matter of fact, make it a habit not to click on any links in emails.
