MySpace Wins Largest Anti-Spam Award In History

TECH CRUNCH -- May 13 -- MySpace was awarded $234 million in statutory damages, the largest anti-spam sum ever made under CAN-SPAM and apparently ever under any law. This is also the first time damages have been awarded under the California Anti Phishing Act. The case was won against two notorious spammers, Sanford Wallace and Walter Rines. Wallace earned the nicknames "Spamford" and "spam king" for having sent as many as 30 million spam messages per day during a period of time in the 1990s. Wallace and Rines spammed MySpace by creating their own accounts and stealing the passwords of others. They then went on to mass message users an estimated 735,925 times. Each of these messages warrant up to $300 in damages under the 2003 federal anti-spam law
CAN-SPAN because they were conducted "willingly and knowingly".
