Microsoft to fight crime with spammer's money
Munir Kotadia writes in C|Net News:
Software giant Microsoft will invest the $7 million it is expecting from a damages settlement with "spam king" Scott Richter into fighting Internet crimes, paying its legal bills and "rewarding" the state of New York.
The announcement was made by Microsoft General Counsel Brad Smith in an open letter posted on the company's Web site.
After covering its legal expenses, Microsoft will dedicate $5 million dollars to helping law enforcement agencies address computer-related crimes, Smith said.
