There's no way that aol is the good guy when it comes to spam, they sell members emails for spam usage. I know mine was sold because I created a brand new screen name specifically to avoid spam (previous screen name gets like 10 spams an hour), and did nothing on it. AIM and web outside of aol itself and no chatting in it. And within 3 days I was getting spam. Now tell me my address was not stolen.
It actually gives details on who they sued and what the settlement is.

The article doesn't say anything. There's a little more information in this CNet story though. Turns out they nailed a Florida based company, alleging that the company offered incentives for 3rd parties to transmit spam.

Notch one up for the good guys.
Would that be AOL, the spammers, or the lawyers?
