AOL Sues Five Spam Companies

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the 300-a-day-and-rising dept.

sugapablo writes "AOL has filed lawsuits against five spamming companies, seeking damages in the millions for unwanted email. As the AP reports, AOL hasn't actually figured out who all the defendants are though, filing the lawuits against some "John Does" and attempting to "subpoena service providers and others to try to track down the spammers"."

    Now don't get me wrong, I'm not against going after the spammers, but isen't this whole suing game getting old? Everyone is sueing everyone else to get as much money as possible, and it's all our (consumers) money they are sueing each other over, maybe we should stop giving it to them and that way they won't be able to sue each other anymore. :P
