Four Big ISPs File Six Anti-Spam Suits

Posted by timothy on Wednesday March 10, 2004 @06:14AM from the woodshed-time dept.

ackthpt writes "Wired is carrying news that Microsoft, America Online, Earthlink and Yahoo are filing suits against spammers under the CANSPAM act. They will 'follow the money' to find the perpetrators and shut them down. Suits currently filed against John Does will have actual names attached once subpoenas get the names of the actual persons. I wish them all the luck, as I clean about 500 pieces of drek a day from my mailboxes." Other readers point to coverage from the BBC and from the Associated Press (here's the AP story as carried by the Boston Globe).

I've been victimized by the anti-slash.org trolls. They saw my +5 post and then claimed it was a repost and had a link on their front page.

Do not mod down a post that someone claims is a re-post unless you see a link to a previous post to prove it. Otherwise you've been trolled!
