Jumpstart to Pay to Settle Anti-Spam Charges

An AP newswire article by Jordan Robertson, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

An Internet marketing company that offered free movie tickets in exchange for friends' e-mail addresses agreed to pay a $900,000 fine to settle charges it violated federal anti-spam laws, authorities said Friday.

Jumpstart Technologies LLC of San Francisco was accused by the Federal Trade Commission of disguising commercial e-mail as personal messages and misleading consumers about the terms of its FreeFlixTix promotion, FTC staff attorney Lisa Rosenthal said.
