« FTC Releases new CAN-SPAM regulations
Reputations play with the FTC Ruling on Multiple Senders »

Myspace was awarded $233 million dollars in a suit against Sanford Wallace under the CAN-SPAM Act and California anti-phishing law. This is the biggest win so far under CAN-SPAM and puts some more teeth behind it.

What's interesting is that MySpace is also suing Scott Richter for the same thing. I remember back when MySpace was owned by Intermix (then called eUniverse) and SKYLIST was an email service provider to both OptinBig and eUniverse. OptinBig and eUniverse worked together, so ironically, I think its very likely that Scott Richter sent out emails to acquire many of the first MySpace users!

Intermix / Flowgo was about the only "sender" to have a whole blocklist - and a very widely used one it was - dedicated to it, flowgoaway.com

Good old days those, when I was blocking a /18 worth of rackspace IP space because one of those senders above had lots of little /27s in it, spread all over the place.. till they turfed the sender.
