California Sues Spammer for $2 Million
KilroyTheVeg writes "The Mercury News reports that the California Attorney General, Bill Lockyer, filed suit against Internet marketer PW Marketing LLC, accusing the company of illegally spamming millions of Californians. The Story is here and the Sidney Morning Herald also has the story here.
The suit named PW Marketing LLC (note:subpoena in link is third one down the page) and its owners Paul Willis and Claudia Griffins defendants in the suit which seeks "at least" $US2 million from them for allegedly flouting several state consumer protection laws banning spam mail. All I can say is Make 'em pay, it's the only way to hurt 'em where it counts." Update: 09/30 22:02 GMT by T : Note, that's Sydney Morning Herald.
you're a fp karma whoring master.
That is all.
If you don't want to repeat the past, stop living in it.
no shit. what a totally useless comment that was.
Being sued for $2 million is too good for them, I know something that is more appropriate.
Does this mean that all the money I'm spending on penis enlargement pills will actually end up in California's pocket? (posted anonymously for obvious reasons)
i wish someone would give me some mod points so I could mod the above comment up. Anyways...really funny!
FYI, a score of 1 doesn't add to your karma.
not "sidney," you dolt
Close, but not quite. I know for a fact that it was Gray Davis who's seriously pissed off because he doesn't yet have his 15% of the $52,109,995 THAT THE GREAT GRAND-NIECE OF UN SECRETARY GENERAL KOFI ANNAN ASKED HIM TO HELP SPIRIT AWAY IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT FROM THE GREAT STATE OF CALIFORNIA BEFORE THE NEXT BUDGET :-)
You may recall this: Click here First Washington, now California. It's good to see another step in the right direction.
Speaking on behalf of all Slashdot readers, it is my unquestionable opinion that companies should not be able to send e-mail without my express written consent. If things get any worse, I may have to reinstate my ban on all mail from domains ending in ".com".
Boy, that wasn't funny at all. What a waste of karma.
Of course, don't forget to read chainrust's emails ! Here you will discover how truly difficult it is to decide what to do on the weekends... have a pizza party? A fash party? Go to the mall with all of your friends? Have a sleepover and call boys on the phone?
In short, if you haven't checked out chainrust's site , you don't know what you're missing!
Get the facts before you indulge in the usual childish knee-jerk Slashbotliberal head-in-the-sand retreat from reality. The liberals are liquidating the working poor of the United States by forcing affordable cars to be horrifically unsafe. Your average affluent white liberal elitist can afford a good, safe SUV to keep his children alive, but not the poor family across town. No, that poor family can't afford anything but an "economy car" -- death on wheels! That poor family has a three times greater chance of having their children exterminated in a collision with that fat, elite, liberal SUV when that drunken tenured professor of multicultural folkdancing comes driving home from a faculty cocktail party full of good liquor paid for with your tax dollars!
Yet again, the liberals show their true, cannibalistic colors.
Why wouldn't you have both a penis and breasts. If you had both surely you would want them both to be bigger ;-)
Hey, this sounds like a plan to kill off the rampant illegal copying that is starting to hurt the music and movie industries - I'm sure they'll thank you for the idea!
Nicely done.
A/S/L ?
I don't know, but the first reply to it talking about punishing spammers got offtopic. Which is on topic, and if phrased differently, might have been +1 Funny.
I'm seeing more and more stupid moderations lately. (Yes, I'm in danger of being off topic again) Both positive and negative, but I've seen lots of stupid moderations lately. Bad moderating monkeys! Bad! (And I meta-moderate off-topic and redundant moderations Unfair now without even bothering to read them, because the two are way overused.)
