Well, that certainly was quick. Yesterday we wrote about the tempo rary restraining order against SpamCop from reporting any spam from OptInRealBig to ISPs other than OptIn's own, and today that temporary restraining order was dissolved, as it appears the lawyers for IronPort/SpamCop made a compelling argument that OptInRealBig wasn't telling the full story. The judge admits that: "The legal issues are more complicated than they originally appeared." The hearing on the case has also been moved up a few days and will be held early next week.

Spammer Suing SpamCop

Spammer Suing SpamCop 04/30/2004 04:13 PM
A year ago, a group of spammers anonymously teamed up with a lawyer to sue a bunch of anti-spam groups. After those anti-spam groups fought back, the spammers eventually dropped their case. However, now we've got a similar situation. Scott Richter, the well known spammer behind OptInRealBig, is now suing IronPort, the folks who bought SpamCop last year. He's asking for $1 million in damages, saying that SpamCop has damaged his reputation. Has he given any thought to the idea that sending spam may have damaged his reputation? Among the many charges filed against SpamCop, Richter included Negligent Interference with Prospective Economic Advantage, Unfair Competition and Interference with Contractual Relationship.

Judge Slaps Down Spammer Who Is Suing
SpamCop 06/28/2004 08:02 PM
In the ongoing ridiculousness concerning the spammer who sued SpamCop, a judge has denied Scott Richter's request for an injunction against SpamCop, noting that by simply forwarding on email messages as a complaint, SpamCop is protected via the CDA, which says that service providers aren't responsible for the content sent through their services (the same reason that AOL shouldn't be sued when someone uses their service to do something illegal -- oh, whoops< /a>). However, the judge also went further pointing out that even if they weren't covered by the CDA, she saw no reason to grant the injunction. She said Richter and OptInRealBig failed to prove its case that SpamCop was in any way libeling them, since SpamCop never states that their reports are definitely spam. Also, there was no evidence that the company acted with "malice" against OptIn. The judge also denied Richter's request for emails from SpamCop claiming that giving Richter those addresses would be the equivalent of: "one who either intentionally or unintentionally sends pornography to minors, who then asks for a list of those minors so he will not continue to commit the crime."

Microsoft Wins $4 Million From Spammer

Microsoft Wins $4 Million From Spammer 07/15/2004 08:36 PM
Microsoft has apparently won a $4 million judgment against a spammer. The interesting part, though, is that the legal issue wasn't the spamming, but "trademark infringement, false advertising and cybersquatting." The spam in question apparently advertised a toolbar that claimed to keep Microsoft Windows updated. The article doesn't say what kind of spyware the product actually was (but, you have to assume it was spyware). Though, it may be difficult to collect, Microsoft claims that it's already taken in approximately $54 million from the various spam cases it's been winning. While that's pocket change for Microsoft, that's still a pretty good chunk of change. Maybe there's a business model in really suing spammers after all.

Florida Wins Spammer Injunction

Florida Wins Spammer Injunction 04/13/2005 04:36 AM
Florida prosecutors have been granted an injunction against two men accused of running mass e-mailing operations, in what is the state's first victory against spam. The move will prevent Scott Filary, 25, and Donald Townsend, 34, both of Tampa, from sending deceptive e-mails. It's the first to be granted under an anti-spam law passed in the state last year.

The pair are accused of sending more than 65,000 e-mails, with misleading subjects and disguised origins, and Charlie Crist, attorney general, said links took recipients to sites engaged in fraud or illegal activities like selling pharmaceutical drugs or cigarettes online.

Anti-spam laws in Florida allow for a fine of up to $500 per e-mail sent - making the two accused liable for a fine of up to $24 million.

Lawsuit Will Hold Public Debate

Spammer, Anti-Spammer Involved In
Lawsuit Will Hold Public Debate 05/20/2004 11:41 PM
Julian Haight, the founder of anti-spam service SpamCop, and Scott Richter, the founder of spamming service OptInRealBig, are currently in the middle of a fairly nasty legal battle over whether or not SpamCop can block OptIn's spam. Still, the two have agreed to appear together in public and debate the topic. Both of their lawyers say that the debate will avoid the issue of the lawsuit, but as the article points out, that seems unlikely. The thing is, in listening to what both sides have said over the years, you already know what they're going to say in this debate - and they're talking at cross purposes. The spammers focus on their right to make money, while everyone else talks about their right to be left alone. The problem with the spammers' position is that they don't have the right to make money. They have the right to try to make money, but if it involves pissing everyone off, and everyone decides to create and use filters to make email bearable again - then that's their right too.
