Facebook Awarded $711 Million In Anti-Spam Case
An anonymous reader writes "Facebook is on a never-before-seen legal rampage against high profile internet spammers. Today Facebook was awarded yet another nine-figure settlement, this time for over $700 million. Facebook also has a criminal contempt case on Wallace, which means a high likelihood of prison, a big win for the internet and a milestone in cyber law. 'The record demonstrates that Wallace willfully violated the statutes in question with blatant disregard for the rights of Facebook and the thousands of Facebook users whose accounts were compromised by his conduct,' Jeremy Fogel wrote in his judgment order, which permanently prohibits Wallace from accessing the Facebook Web site or creating a Facebook account, among other restrictions."
Facebook have turned a profit now right?

It's good to see a corporation winning a $700,000,000 against an individual once in a while.
Now, that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time.

Hmm, this is an interesting concept. However, to carry it to its natural extreme.... what then would we do with Microsoft? I've wasted hundreds of hours of my life trying to fix their crap.
You are using English. Please learn the difference between loose and lose; they're, there, and their; your and you're.
And an appropriate execution method might be death by ten thousand paper cuts. Or just leave him naked in mosquito country at the start of the season. I mean, it's not like any one cut or bite is that serious....

Unwritten Rule of Acquisition #317-: " If you are a big bully, go beet up on someone who annoys the hell out of everyone else. It's highly profitable in direct Latinum and customer willingness to give you more Latinum."
Facebook should be appointed Grand Nagus for coming up with such a lucrative idea.

"Wallace and his company Smartbot.net" Sort of like naming your firm "Ruthless Swindlers, Inc."

Yes, it's ironic, in this context it's meant as "to put it in a can", you know, like the meat Spam.
You mean, the thing you do to spam before you deliver it to millions of people all over the world?

What would we do with Slashdot?
Force him to eat nothing but spam until he dies of malnutrition.
Make him work it off in a sweatshop for the rest of his days.
"Mr. Wallace, you are hereby sentenced to spend the remainder of your natural life logged in to a mail client pressing the delete key."
If libertarians are so opposed to effective government, why don't they all move to Somalia?
If you aren't willing to carry out the sentence yourself, with your parents watching, you don't really believe in it.
Nerd rage is the funniest rage.
Prison rape is a serious problem and should not be taken lightly. I am appalled and disgusted by your suggestion that some poor criminal should be forced to have sex with Sanford Wallace. There is no law on earth that can sentence a man to such an awful fate. Our constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment and it would do you well to never forget it!
