Stuff to Blog About: In the News, June 19th, 2008: "A Colorado man has been ordered to pay US $6 million in damages and legal fees for spamming thousands of MySpace.com users. YES!


The man was once accused of pumping out more than 100 million spam messages per day, had been sued by MySpace in January 2007 in connection with an August 2006 campaign in which MySpace members were hit with unsolicited messages promoting a Web site called Consumerpromotionscenter.com. The messages were sent from phished MySpace accounts, according to the findings of Philip Boesch, the court-appointed arbitrator in the case.

This is not the first time a this individual's company has had to cough up millions of dollars to fight spam charges. In 2005, his previous company, Optinrealbig.com, paid $7 million to settle similar charges brought by Microsoft.

Scott Richter was removed from anti-spam organization Spamhaus' list of known spammers that same year.

'This award reflects MySpace's continued momentum and holistic approach to ridding the site of spammers and phishers,' MySpace said in a statement. 'We will continue to do our part in cleansing the Internet of this invasive onslaught of spam.'"
