Microsoft sues more spammers
US SOFTWARE monolith Microsoft has unleashed its mighty briefs on another group of spammers.
In a lawsuit filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles, Vole is seeking financial damages from an unidentified number of unnamed spammers.
The suit will enable Microsoft to get court orders against the sites of suspect spammers so that it can find out who they are and drag them kicking and screaming into court.
LA has been selected as the target for the Vole crackdown. Apparently there is a large nest of spammers in that town, which needs to be cleansed with purifying fire, holy water and a few writs.*
The lawsuit said that many of the spam messages were sent by defendants illegally using Hotmail accounts. Microsoft is asking that a judge bar the defendants from establishing accounts with its e-mail services and order them to stop violating Microsoft's policy and state and federal law.
