07/30/2004 12:12 PMMy cow-orker Annalee Newitz has posted a great editorial on the latest
court battles over spam, pointing out the weird, anticompetitive and
anti-speech aspects of the spam fight.
Microsoft is developing what it calls Bonded Sender, a program that
would supposedly separate "legitimate" Internet marketers and bulk
mailers from spammers. Working with a California company called
IronPort, Microsoft will create a white list of Internet marketers who
have paid a fee and demonstrated that they have no record of spamming.
Companies participating in the Bonded Sender program will be allowed
to send their email ads to HotMail and MSN users.
Given Microsoft's investment in the Bonded Sender program, it seems
they may soon be in the business of serving as middlemen between
emailer marketers and their webmail users. In other words, it sounds
like the software megacorp is about to start competing with Richter.
Of course, Microsoft could always call off its suit if Richter claims
to have been rehabilitated -- and he pays his Bonded Sender fees!
In the spam wars, sometimes it's hard to tell the spammers from the
antispammers.
The situation gets even more complicated when you consider the fact
that Microsoft will do more than pick and choose winners in the junk
email business. Bonded Sender will punish most the people who aren't
even sending advertisements -- groups like Internet activists
MoveOn.org, who send out millions of emails to alert their members to
upcoming political events and issues. If these groups don't pay their
Bonded Sender fees, HotMail simply won't deliver their email --
regardless of whether users have specifically opted in to receive it.

Microsoft sues 117 over 'phishing'
03/31/2005 05:03 PMMicrosoft Corp. has filed 117 lawsuits against unknown Internet site
operators who used "phishing" schemes to obtain personal and
financial information from unsuspecting consumers, the world's largest
software maker said on Thursday. Often scam artists pose as banks or
other legitimate businesses, sending out millions of e-mails or pop-up
Web advertisements with requests that the recipient update their
account information but instead direct them to fake sites.
Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft said it was filing "John
Doe" defendant lawsuits in U.S. District Court in Washington
state in an attempt to establish connections between worldwide
"phishers" and discover the largest-volume operators.
"We must work together to stop these con artists from misusing
the Internet as a tool for fraud," Aaron Kornblum, Internet
safety enforcement attorney at Microsoft, said in a statement.
