Florida Slaps Spammer with $11 Billion Fine
A NewsFactor article by Robin Arnfield, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
CIS Internet Services, a Clinton, Iowa-based Internet service provider, has been awarded $11.2 billion in a court judgment against a Florida man who sent millions of unsolicited pieces of commercial e-mail.
Robert W. Kramer, III, the owner and operator of CIS Internet Services, filed a lawsuit against Miami, Florida-based James McCalla, alleging that over 280 million illegal spam e-mails were sent to CIS e-mail accounts.
The spam e-mails allegedly advertised mortgages, debt-consolidation services, and pornographic and gambling Web sites.
