    Myspace sues "Spam King" for sending bulletins

    yikes!

    quote:
    Social-networking site MySpace announced today it has filed suit against Richter, calling him the mastermind behind millions of spam "bulletins" sent to MySpace users' accounts without their knowledge.

    The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles on Friday, seeks a permanent injunction barring Richter and his affiliated companies from MySpace, as well as punitive damages totaling at least $50 per spam message sent, according to the complaint.

    If Spizter was correct in his 2003 claim that Richter cleared several million dollars a month through his illegal marketing, civil suits just might not be enough to stop him.

          how was he sending bulletins? ive noticed friends posting bulletins that they didnt really post. i think what happened was someone fishing the account with those fake "profile trackers" and logging into the account and posting the bulletin, if that was the case he should be facing jail time.

                          Like many scams and questionable deals, the fine to be paid is a "cost of doing business". Just like zango and the 3 million to the FTC. That was a drop in the bucket for a company taking in 50 million a year.

                                  he should have taken the proper precautions

                                                  Now that I did not know

                                                  I did see that the post was fucked though, but GFY decided to barf during my 3 minute window.
