MySpace wins record judgment. Whoopee!!!

On Tuesday, MySpace won a $230,000.00 judgment against two spammers for violating the "Can-Spam Act." The judgment is about as void of substance as the webpage who won it.

This leads me to an issue I see often in my business. What good is a $230,000.00 judgment from someone who is uncollectable? In this case, it makes good publicity. Hopefully it will cut down on spamming. MySpace in the meantime should try to put the spammers on a payment plan. I suggest $10 a week until paid in full...plus interest of course.
