Spammers Sue Spam Victim For $4 Million

Posted by Zonk on from the that's-a-lot-of-pork dept.

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."

    Anyone think Slashdot over did it with the green for St. Patrick's Day?

    Slashdot should hire the Ars people... They actually write real summaries that explain things

    Why bother? The only people that complain are obviously reading slashdot, so it can't be bugging them that much.

    Anyhow, the crappy editing is like the broken HTML and brain-dead moderation system. Slashdot is the Windows 3.1 of the web; anyone who's left is here for basically irrational reasons. Change Slashdot, and people are going to leave for irrational reasons.
