ADVERTISEMENT It's believed to be one of the largest judgments against companies accused of sending junk e-mails. U.S. District Judge Charles Wolle ruled Friday that Robert Kramer's business, CIS Internet Services, was harmed by the unsolicited e-mails. "It's definitely a victory for all of us that open up our e-mail and find lewd and malicious and fraudulent e-mail in our boxes every day,'' Kramer said. Kramer is unlikely to ever collect the large judgment, which was made possible through an Iowa law that allows plaintiffs to claim damages of $10 per spam message, said his attorney, Kelly O. Wallace of Atlanta.More | Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
