I suspect that there will be more people seekings litigation against
SPAMMERS after Robert Braver won $10 mill against a spam company.
Oklahoma ISP owner who is a long time activist against both spam and
junk faxes, received a default judgment of over $10 million against
high profile spammer Robert Soloway and his company Newport Internet
Marketing.
Coording to the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003:
Pornography and Marketing Act) establishes
requirements for those who send commercial
email, spells out penalties for spammers
and companies whose products are advertised
in spam if they violate the law, and gives
consumers the right to ask emailers to stop

Robert Soloway seems like a great contributor to the Internet!
virus authors to create spam “zombies”. Commits hundreds of felony
violations of U.S. computer crime laws daily.
This is the kind of action that it will take to slow down the epidemic
of SPAM and malware. The days of reaction are done.
Companies that react to penetrations and SPAM are going to continue to
get nailed in the pocket.
