I've writen
several
blog
entries
about the continued downward swirling motion of Tralliance, the company
that runs the registry for .TRAVEL.
In this month's installment, as told in their
quarterly 10-Q SEC filing,
they flirt with bankruptcy but may well end up more stable than before.
One of the more eye-catching paragraphs says:
Based upon the Company's current financial condition, as discussed
above, and without the infusion of additional capital, management does
not believe that the Company will be able to fund its operations beyond
the end of May 2008.

Many online businesses use affiliates to drum up business.
The affiliate finds a lead somewhere, passes it to the business, and gets
a commission if the lead turns into a sale.
Web based affiliates are relatively uncontroversial, but affiliates
who advertise by e-mail are a chronic problem due to their propensity
to send spam, both spam as normally defined and as defined
by CAN SPAM.
Is it possible to do legitimate e-mail affiliate marketing? Maybe.

ASIS is a small ISP in northern California.
Azoogle is an online lead broker with a history of extremely poor
e-mail practices, although they have cleaned up their act enough in
recent years to
get off the Spamhaus blacklists.
ASIS sued Azoogle under CAN SPAM, Azoogle moved for summary judgement,
which was granted.
Although I can't tell whether Azoogle was responsible for the specific
spam in the suit, the reasoning the judge used to throw out the suit is
just plain wrong, and the suit should have been allowed to continue.

I was interviewed this afternoon on the BBC World Service newshour
program, about the 30th anniversary of the first spam.
To listen in, visit
the
program's web site.
Click the "Listen again" link and,
although it was recorded and broadcast on Saturday the 3rd, it is
the Sunday 2000 GMT link.
The interview is with Lyse Doucette and starts about at about 13:45 into
the hour long program.

In 2004 Jaynes became the country's first convicted spam felon under
the Virginia anti-spam law.
He's been appealing his conviction ever since, most recently
losing an appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court by a 4-3 decision
in February.
As I
discussed in more detail at the time
the key questions were a) whether the Virginia law had First Amendment
problems and b) whether Jaynes had standing to challenge it. The court
answered No to b), thereby avoiding the need to answer a), the dissent
answered Yes to both.
