moonbroth Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Visit http://lawsuite.word-to-the-wise.com for an archive of court filings in re: Optinrealbig.com vs. Ironport dba Spamcop, including the very welcome (and at times highly amusing) Order Denying Plaintiff's Motion for Preliminary Injunction (i.e. Scotty getting spanked by the judge). Recommended reading. Cheers, Nick (PS: moderators, I was surprised not to find this excellent resource already linked from these boards.

dra007 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Very interesting, sounds like Scotty is deep in spew.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralsky's Fatal Tumor Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Recommended reading. I second that. That was a quality, WWF-Style legal beating that Scotty took. Now if somehow they could just manage to prosecute Opt-In, then we'd be cooking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apeikoff Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Maybe someone in the state of Washington? Click here to see relevant USA Today Story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazoo Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 There is no connection between your Washington State case and the Scotty case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apeikoff Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 There is no connection between your Washington State case and the Scotty case. Right, but the Washington State case sets a favorable precedent for going after spammers. That's all I was saying. Surely some of Optin's mail goes to residents of the state of Washington.

Wazoo Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 A bit of an update, definitely wondering what may appear later in the day ... http://www.clickz.com/news/article.php/3403421 spam King Settles with SpamCop Mass e-mailer OptInRealBig.com has reached a settlement with anti-spam service SpamCop and its corporate parent, IronPort. Terms of the settlement will not be disclosed. The parties will issue a joint press release on Friday confirming the settlement has been reached. Both have agreed not to make further comments. -=-=-=-=-=-=- OptinRealBig's press release already posted at http://lawsuite.word-to-the-wise.com/ And Ironport's version of the same drivel (unfortunately) is found at http://www.ironport.com/pdf/ironport_2004-09-03.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipCurl Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 settled means nothing. that means something of an agreement was made between SpamCop and Snotty (ie in form of money? delistings? never to be listed again?) its all too negative and with the "no discussion" or "settlement will not be released" it'll definite leave a sour taste in the anti-spam community. WE should know what happened, because if snotty pulls this on others (does this case set a precedent for him? other spammers?) how will sys admins fight those lawsuits when filed? news.admin.net-abuse.email has an ongoing discussion as well. Sorry, Im gonna be a pessimist. I think Spamcop/Ironport caved in.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlyn Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 No they didn't. What gives you that idea with the judge having rejected the TRO and scolded his dad (the leagle beagle) for filing misbehavior. IronPort could countersue just for those reasons and they did not. IronPort held the upper position all the way. IANAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WB8TYW Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Who is the most inconvenienced by not being able to talk about the settlement? There probably were no assets to economically seize if the court case continued, and Ironport won, so hopefully they got their legal costs paid. And getting a gag put on a someone that likes to boast is priceless. Almost the worst thing that could happen to them. -John Personal Opinion Only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
