Iowa ISP wins $11.2 Billion dollar judgment against spammers
Next news
Clinton (IA) - A small Iowa-based ISP has been awarded a huge $11.2 billion dollar judgment against a Florida spammer. CIS Internet Services in Clinton Iowa sued James McCalla of Florida for sending 280 million email messages into the CIS network. Since 1996, the CIS network was a conduit for McCalla's emails which contained spoofed return information.
The lawsuit initially had 300 defendants listed. In 2004, the ISP won another judgement against three other defendants. At that time, Judge Charles R. Wolle used the Federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and the Iowa Ongoing Criminal Conduct Act to punish three of the defendants for $1 billion dollars.
Iowa law section 714E says that spammers can be punished up to $10 per illegally distributed e-mail.
