Anti-Spam Alliance sues more spammers

spam — by TDavid @ 11:18 am PST

I wish the RIAA would stup the lawsuits against music fans but it’s doubtful I’ll ever tire of hearing about lawsuits from AOL, Microsoft, Earthlink and Yahoo aimed at spammers.

America Online, Microsoft, EarthLink and Yahoo are teaming again to turn up the heat on spammers. The companies, which make up the Anti-Spam Alliance, announced on Thursday that they’ve each filed new lawsuits in U.S. Federal Court against senders of unwanted computer messages. The companies filed suits in the states of Washington, Georgia and California accusing defendants of violating the federal Can-Spam Act, along with other state and federal laws.

In the meantime, we had to move to comment moderation at Webmaster Cookbook because of spammers and adult website URLs left in the comments. Note to clueless spammers harvesting from blogs: if a site says it’s ‘Family Friendly’ then that means no adult sites.
