Spammer, Anti-Spammer Involved In
Lawsuit Will Hold Public Debate
05/20/2004 11:41 PMJulian 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.

06/28/2004 11:14 PMI love these stories when Spammers get taken to court and then get
body slammed. In a court ruling in Paris a spammer has to pay a fine
of around 13,000 Euro's along with their legal fees (ouch). He has to
advertise the court ruling on his own website and pay for advertising
on the ruling against him. I can not even imagine how much this ruling
is going to cost by the time it's all over but I bet he will never
spam again. [ZDNet]

Microsoft Wins $4 Million From Spammer
07/15/2004 08:36 PMMicrosoft 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.

maintenance program is a good deal continue, according to a number of
recently-surveyed Microsoft customers. Microsoft has been aggressively
pushing Software Assurance, a contractual upgrade rights program that
allows businesses free upgrades -- and other benefits -- in exchange
for annual fees over a two- or three-year timeline. But there appears
to be some disconnect between how Microsoft wants to sell its software
and how businesses want to buy, an analyst said on Monday.

09/07/2004 12:32 PMA spammer in California has been accused of driving around looking for
un-secured hotspots and sending spam from the open connections: The
original story here is one of those infuriating reads that doesn't
mention how the guy got caught. It seems that historically people who
have gotten caught for improperly using hotspots have done so by being
stupid or unlucky. It's otherwise difficult to track someone down
especially if they move around a lot looking for insecure hotspots....

In a mix of true detective work and a little high tech knowhow, a
Wi-Fi spammer is caught while sending out pornographic spam over an

is really nothing explaining how the perpetrator was caught in the
first place. Is this to be kept as a well guarded secret?…

Spammer discussion
01/12/2004 01:53 AMBlog and guestbook spammers are discussing spam techniques in this
Usenet thread found by Andy
Baio.
It’s an interesting read. One of the main characters is a
moron who shows his ignorance at every turn. There are many claims
that what they are doing is Search Engine Optimization (SEO). There
are legitimate SEO companies, and there are guys like these. If you
are hiring a SEO company, make sure you know what techniques they are
using or you might end up with a site marketed in the same manner as
the porn and prescription drug schemes they are discussing.
They also linked to my AP News
article on spam. So they know we’re watching.

05/27/2004 03:22 PMContinuing in my quest for a spam-free mailbox, I have become more and
more interested in the way(s) spammers collect their victim's
addresses. In fact, I routinely receive junk mail in various languages
I don't even understand (Chinese, German, Korean, Brazilian, and God
knows what else), let alone having any relationship whatsoever with
those countries. So I started thinking how the heck some email
addresses of mine ended up in those spamming lists.
