Submission + - Judge Grants e360's Motion to grab Spamhaus Site
Anonymous Coward writes: "From the e360 site:
"Wheeling, IL — February 20, 2007 — Judge Charles P. Kocoras granted e360's motion to enter its judgment against Spamhaus in the U.S. District Court of Northern Mississippi. e360 made the motion because spamhaus.org, a domain and asset owned by Spamhaus, is registered with Tucows, Inc. Tucows was previously served with a court order at its offices in Mississippi to freeze the domain. This ruling is significant because it enables e360 to ask the court to execute on the writ and transfer ownership of spamhaus.org to e360."
"The court's ruling today is an important step in defending the rights of legitimate marketers," said Dave Linhardt, e360's President and Founder. "Amazingly, Spamhaus continues to believe it can operate above the laws of the United States. Based on Mr. Linford's refusal to comply with the permanent injuction, it is my opinion that Spamhaus is nothing more than a vigilante, cyber terrorist orgainzation with a dangerous God complex."
When I see stuff like this, I so thankful to be Canadian. Something like this would booted from the courts for wasting their time.
Why doesnt one or more companies try to support spamhaus or launch suit against e360 for its known involvment in known spamming operations (Microsft etc)?
Is anyone standing up against e360 or supporting spamhaus against them?? Or better yet force e360 to justify it actions in the media as to its previous spamming operations."
