Last September
MySpace sued ur-spammers
Sanford "Spamford" Wallace and Walt "Pickle Jar" Rines
for egregious violations of CAN SPAM.
After some early skirmishes involving an expert for Wallace so unqualified
that the judge threw out his testimony, Wallace and Rines stopped responding,
so as was widely reported, earlier this week
the court granted a default judgement.
Since they sent a lot of spam, the statutory damages came to an
enormous $235 million.
Even for Spamford, that's a lot of money.

Why do people put those tags on their mail? And do they mean
anything? I can't answer the first question, but the answer
to the second is definitely No.

On Dec 23, Yahoo responded to the silly
Holomaxx lawsuit.
Their analysis agrees with mine: every claim is wrong, and the suit
has no merit at all.
This doesn't mean that I'm a brilliant legal analyst.
It just means that the issues are obvious.
Laura at Word to the Wise
goes
through the response and we all agree, they have no case.

Leon and Clara Walker live near Detroit, divorced on Dec 14,
and clearly should never have gotten married in the first place.
The case is a messy one with multiple ex-husbands and child custody battles,
but its basic facts seem not to be in dispute.
