    This judgement was the first anti-spam ruling and the marketing firm were fines for sending out millions of unsolicited e-mails telling people how to spam. We're getting closer...

    "where fines", or "were fined", should be "was fined"?

    Perhaps: "This judgement was the first anti-spam ruling; the marketing firm was fined for sending out millions of unsolicited e-mails telling people how to spam. We're getting closer..."

    is a little better?
