NY AG Sues MonsterHut Over Marketing Spam
Ian Hill writes: "This BBC article tells how NY State Attorney Elliot Spitzer has sued marketing firm MonsterHut.com over "millions" of unsolicited e-mails. He claims MonsterHut.com falsely told its clients that e-mails sent on their behalf were sent to addresses who registered themselves as interested parties. Also at question is how exactly these addresses were collected." eviljim adds a link to a press release from New York's Attorney General and a reminder of how MonsterHut was disconnected from their ISP.
Monster Hut makes the best monsters. I love their personal pan monsters, and their deep-dish Chicago style monsters, also. Great for parties. The crispy thin-crust monsters are also good, if you like a nice New York style monster. A slice of their leftover monster also makes a great breakfast. I like to order a medium monster with pepperoni and peppers and olives. This is enough to feed me and my girlfriend (who also loves monster), plus leaves a little leftover for the next day.
Karma: Good (despite my invention of the Karma: sig)
I am "simply shocked" that a company would tell such lies to it's customers.
Thank God that we don't know of any other companies that would do something like that.

Declare the internet the 'land of the free'.
Instead of calling it your 'inbox', it's now your 'american spirit'.
Those dirty emails you send to your wife are now 'vital communications of the heart'.
Your mom nagging you to visit her more often are 'sincere messages from the home front'.
Once we make spam a terrorist act only terrorists will send spam! U-S-A! U-S-A!
Hmmmm according to Spamhaus their servers were put under lock and key when PaeTec TOSed them. Hmmmm i wunder how much they want for their equipment.. I could use some of their parts, or they could be put to good use in a RTCW or a Q3 extreme server for that matter. :D
