MySpace Gets $234M Judgement Against Spam Gang Posted by Pile (13338 views) [E-Mail link] [Spam] A spammer that supposedly "went clean" several years ago and left the spamming industry is again caught for sending junk mail. The popular online hangout MySpace has won a $234 million judgment over junk messages sent to its members in what is believed to be the largest anti-spam award ever. Rines and Wallace worked in concert to create their own MySpace accounts or take over existing ones by stealing passwords, Nigam said. They then e-mailed other MySpace members, he said, "asking them to check out a cool video or another cool site. When you go there, they were making money trying to sell you something or making money based on hits or trying to sell ring tones." MySpace said the pair sent 735,925 messages to MySpace members. Under the 2003 federal anti-spam law known as CAN-SPAM, each violation entitles MySpace to $100 in damages, tripled when conducted "willfully and knowingly." Details   1 Article displayed.
