Spammer That Sued Spamhaus Now Sued for Spamming

Dave Q. Lintard writes with a link to The Register's coverage of a suit against the spammer that sued Spamhaus. e360 Insight, as the company is known, is accused of using a botnet and compromised headers to get their 'advertising' into the mailboxes of the claimant. These are also the folks that tried to get the Illinois courts to suspend SpamHaus's domain registration when they wouldn't play by e 360's rules. 'e360 Insight sued Spamhaus after the anti-spam organisation blacklisted its domains over alleged spamming. In a default ruling made by an Illinois court in September 2006, Spamhaus was ordered to pay $11.7m in compensation to e360 Insight, pull the organisation's listing, and post a notice stating that it was wrong to say e360 Insight was involved in sending junk mail. UK-based Spamhaus did not defend the case and the ruling was made in its absence.'

Some people might classify spamhaus as a vigilante group, but they stay well within the limits of the law. If you don't like them, don't use their services. On the other hand, in russia spammers just get killed by vigilantes, that will solve the problem much better.
That points to another problem: there is a large gap in the number of spammer-killers between the US and Russia. The US needs more spammer-killers to defend agaist that threat. Even the pussies from spamhaus are in the UK!

It is up to the plaintiff to declare that the courts hold no jurisdiction over them.

Why would someone who initiates a lawsuit try to have it declared void? I'd certainly call that person a moron!

I don't care what you meant, I'm not a mind reader - I responded to what you wrote. You screwed up, you got called - get over it.

Re: Pointless name calling - I demand you immediately withdraw that groundless and malicious accusation or put up some evidence.
