Spammers Sue Spam Victim For $4 Million
fronck writes "Self-declared anti-spammer Mark Mumma, a web hosting and email service provider, has apparently been sued for just under $4 million by cruise.com and their parent company Omega World Travel after they were ordered to stop sending him emails and comply with Oklahoma's CAN-SPAM act. Mumma intends to see the trial through court and meanwhile the spam continues unabated. More insight available at Ars Technica."
Or at least charge him less, geez.
In capitalist U.S.A.,
spammers sue you!
Dude, that's so untrue - america is the land of the free, that kind of thing doesn't happen in real life, just in hypothetical situations - it's like worrying about government monitoring, it's totally cool and safe, i'm sure they'll never abuse it, you just need to be more trusting!
This might be a case where that's possible. In order for that to happen (in the US), a judge needs to rule that a suit is frivolous, meaning that it's so obviously bogus that the Plaintiff should not have even considered filing it.
Not a lawyer, blah blah blah blah ham sandwich.
William of Ockham had no beard. The most likely explanation is that it was chewed off by squirrels every morning.
Just like the judge smacked down the suit against Oreo cookies making people fat?
:-o
Oreo's can make you fat?!?
I'll turn into a supernova and burn up everything. Well I'll turn into a black little hole and you'll turn into string.
do you have any recommendations of websites for that?
