NY AG Sues MonsterHut Over Marketing Spam

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the false-advertising dept.

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.

    I don't see what the big fuss about spamming is. On any given day you receive crap in your physical mailbox at home that you don't want or didn't ask for. How is it different on the computer?

    And don't tell me that lame excuse of 'bandwidth costs money' blah blah blah. So does taxes which supplement the USPO and so does trash removal. At least deleting spam on the computer is free.

    Its the first amendment to the Constitution.


    Don't like it? Move to China or Cuba. See how that government suits you!

    I just want to point out that anyone who found that "joke" funny is a moron.
