Anti-Spammers Win Major Court Battle

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the truth-and-justice-and-stuff dept.

Brian Bruns writes "Well, the antispammers have won a major battle against EMarketersAmerica.org (now offline, but mirror here). The judge involved with the case has dismissed the case with prejudice, which means that all of the spammers arguments were denied. The win is a big one for the antispam community." It's always good to see my inbox come out on the winning side of a court decision. Sounds like the case was fun to watch as well.

      Did anyone else go and sign up Mark Felstein and emarketersamerica.org in Boca Raton Florida for every possible free sample, spam, and random catalog list? I did...then I laughed my ass off after trying to get him a Depends sample...

      "you have already requested this sample..."

    The penis enlargement pump they sold me worked so well I need the next size up. Where will I get one now? Oh well, I guess I'll use the lost pumping time to take care of that business opportunity in Nigeria ...

    Opt-in permission based email marketers have been blacklisted, harassed and threatened by anti-spammers---legitimate businesses wrongly pushed to the precipice of extinction. We need your help in keeping our industry vital by protecting email marketers.

    Only in America can businesses violate privacy, conduct "business" with little or no regard for the consumer, and still be considered legit by a select few.

    Yes! In most places around the world, that's the government's job!
