Jurisdiction Issue

Judge Tosses AOL Spammer Lawsuit Over
Jurisdiction Issue 12/30/2003 07:44 PM
Details are sketchy on this one, but it sounds like a federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by AOL against some spammers because the judge claims not to have jurisdiction over the spammers. The spammers are in Florida, but AOL (and the court) are in Virginia. Once again, the question of jurisdiction online becomes important. Should the spammers be liable in Virginia because their emails hit AOL's machines (based in Virginia) or should it be filed in a Florida court?

Lawsuit

Judge Tosses Streisand Aerial Photos
Lawsuit 12/04/2003 12:02 PM
Remember back in June when Barbara Streisand filed a lawsuit against Ken Adelman for photographing her home as part of his effort to photograph the entire west coast of the US for environmental purposes? Despite the fact that it was one of many thousands of photos, shows very little detail and was taken from public airspace, Streisand claimed it violated her privacy. Well, now a judge has looked at the suit, scoffed, and tossed it out, saying that the lawsuit actually infringed on Adelman's right to free speech. Once again, this is an example of trying to hide something online - and in the process drawing a lot more attention to it. If Streisand hadn't spoken up, very few people would even know the photo existed. Now, millions do - and it's all completely legal.

Judge Awards ISP $1bn in Spam Case

Judge Awards ISP $1bn in Spam Case 12/19/2004 03:10 PM
eWeek is reporting on what is thought to be the largest federal judgment against spammers in history. CIS Internet Services has been awarded damages to the sum of $1bn. Judge Wolle ruled that CIS were being harmed by the sending of un-solicited emails by these companies. He ruled that they had broken the law under the Federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and the Iowa Ongoing Criminal Conduct Act.

Kramer, owner of CIS, described the resolution as "a victory for all of us that open up our e-mail and find lewd and malicious and fraudulent e-mail in our boxes every day''. The judgement was based on a cost of $10 per spam message; it’s thought unlikely that Kramer will ever be able to get the $1bn from the spam companies. The resolution hands down large fines against the three main offenders, none of which responded to contact, or were present at a bench trial in November of this year.

Kramer's 9 year old company provides email services for users in Clinton. According to court documents, he noticed a rise in spam on his network in 2000, and at one point saw as many as 10 million spam messages a day. CIS Internet Services user’s were especially vulnerable as many of their email addresses were listed on a widely available spam CD – “Bulk Mailing 4 Dummies” – which gives simple advice to would be spammers on how to get started. It is hoped that the judgement will send a strong message to companies who persist in sending users unwanted messages.

EFF helps beat RIAA in privacy for
accused infringers case 01/05/2005 03:42 AM
Cory Doctorow: EFF's helped win another victory this week! We filed a brief in RIAA vs Charter, a case where the music industry was asserting the legal right to require your ISP to turn over your information if you'd been accused of copyright infringement -- rather than waiting until they'd proven their case. The court ruled in Charter's favor yesterday, saying that just because you've been accused of infringement, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't have the due process right to privacy until you've been proven guilty.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), along with 21 other groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the Consumer Federation of America (CFA), and the Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA), filed a "friend of the court" brief in the Charter case, urging the Eighth Circuit to determine that the same strong protections applied to anonymous speech in other contexts also apply when copyright infringement is claimed but has not yet been proven. In a victory for privacy and anonymity, the Eighth Circuit determined that DMCA subpoenas could not be used to get this information.
