Spamhaus to ignore $11m judgement

6031769 writes: As reported on CNet, Spamhaus are choosing to ignore a judgement of $11m against them in an uncontested trial in an Illinois court. According to Spamhaus, the judgement has no impact upon them, since they are a British organisation. FTA:

"Default judgments obtained in US county, state or federal courts have no validity in the UK and can not be enforced under the British legal system," Spamhaus said on its Web site. "As spamming is illegal in the UK, an Illinois court ordering a British organization to stop blocking incoming Illinois spam in Britain goes contrary to UK law which orders all spammers to cease sending spam in the first place."
