Microsoft Wins Record Amount from Hotmail Spammer
mytrip writes to tell us News.com is reporting that Microsoft has won a record $87,177 against spammer Paul Fox who used a hotmail account to direct users to his pornographic download site. From the article: "But while Microsoft has clearly won, the case highlights a failure in the British legal system to tackle spam. Despite efforts by the Information Commissioner's Office to gain power from the Department of Trade & Industry to deal with spam, Information Commissioner Richard Thomas remains hamstrung."
Microsoft had to pay their attorneys well over the amount won. They were cited saying... "This isn't about winning or losing. It's a moral stand against spammers and we at Microsoft feel that we've done the right thing. For more information about this case, click http://www.sex-galore.com/ for our newsletter."
