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"."

    Hating AOL is like hating training wheels. They're not innately bad. They're a really good ISP for someone who has no real computer experience.

    Most people are casual users. Just because we're all nerds doesn't mean we have to insult them. We can make money off of them instead.

    I remember the days when they used to be 3 1/2" floppies, and you could just format them and use them as blank disks!

    Now if AOL sent out their software on CD-RW's....
