Microsoft Files 15 Lawsuits Against Spammers

Posted by timothy on from the better-use-of-lawyers dept.

Popsikle writes "A Seattle Paper reports that 'Microsoft Corp. announced it has filed 15 lawsuits against alleged e-mail spammers in Washington state and the United Kingdom on Tuesday.' It states the tough anti-spam laws in UK and Washington allows ISP's to sue spammers. This could be a good test of the new anti-spam laws." There's coverage on CNN as well. Microsoft has picked a good venue for such a case.

    Slashdot is .. actually -not- posting something Anti-Microsoft. I think they sued those spammers just to take a screenshot of this, print it out, and frame it. This is their ultimate achievement.
