EarthLink Continues Spam Legal Battle
Ed Oswald writes in BetaNews:
EarthLink continued its legal battle against spammers on Friday, announcing that evidence it provided federal authorities had led to a one-year prison sentence for one spammer, and that it had won a multi-million dollar judgment in another case.More details can be found here.
The ISP provided evidence in the suit against Peter Moshou, known as the "Timeshare Spammer." EarthLink claimed that in 2004 and 2005, Moshou sent millions of e-mails seeking personal information by offering brokerage services for timeshare owners.
Moshou will serve one year in federal prison and has been ordered to pay $120,000 in restitution for CAN-SPAM act violations.
In a separate case, EarthLink won a $15.4 million judgment against Craig Brockwell and his company BC Alliance.
