MySpace Wins $234 Million Spam Judgment:


MySpace has won a $234 million judgment over junk messages sent to its members in what is believed to be the largest anti-spam award ever. A federal judge ruled against two of the Internet's most prominent spam defendants, Sanford Wallace and Walter Rines, after the two failed to show up at a court hearing Monday. Wallace earned the monikers "Spam King" and "Spamford" as head of a company that sent as many as 30 million junk e-mails a day in the 1990s.
