Spammer Sues SpamCop

Posted by michael on from the truth-hurts dept.

wolfgang writes "Just wanted to send you word that notorious spammer Scott Richter, President of Email marketing firm OptinRealBig.com, has filed suit against Ironport, which runs anti-spam site Spamcop. According to Richter, Spamcop's initiatives have damaged the reputation of his company. Richter filed for $1 million in damages. A similar suit one year ago, filed by Eddy Marin and his Florida-based Emarketersamerica.org against Spamhaus, was thrown out of court last October." We've mentioned Richter before.

    Please do some research on the idea of "counter-suing" and you may understand that our system of justice and civil law is not too bad after all.

    Summary: You can often get restitution for lawyer fees (and even damages) related to being sued when you are on the right side of the law.
