OptInRealBig Wins Restraining Order On SpamCop

Posted by timothy on from the bad-guys-with-lawyers dept.

arikb writes "Some online newspapers are reporting that the infamous Scott Richter and his company OptInRealBig won a temporary restraining order against SpamCop. The TRO prevents SpamCop from sending complaints about OIRB to their provider or removing email addresses from the complaints it receives which regard OIRB. I think we will rue this day for years to come." Update: 05/12 16:43 GMT by T : The Ultimate Fartkno writes "HillsCap, a fed-up SpamCop user, is now organizing a class-action lawsuit to be brought against Richter and Opt-In. At least 1,000 signatures are needed, so tell your friends!"

    How about this being like a Black golfer trying to enter a private country club and being denied?

    Of course in this instance, I hardly believe one would have a case against the security guard!?

    There are limits to what you can and can not do with your private property. Lets hope this somehow gets seen as the invasion of privacy it is.
