EmarketersAmerica.org, a front set up by notorious spammer Eddy Marin's lawyer, Mark.E.Felstein, has filed a suit against several UK and USA anti-spam groups.

The reason? They're unhappy with junk e-mail filtering companies preventing them from peddling porn, penis enlargement and Viagra e-mail adverts!

If ever a case wanted to make you seriously hurt the people who brought the action then this is it:

A long list of individuals and anti-spam organisations preventing bulk mailers from getting their spam out, including the UK-based Spamhaus Project and Spews.org, are listed in the suit. The civil action law-suit, filed on April 14, seeks an injunction against anti-spam organisation on behalf of the plaintiffs. It also seek damages of $75 million (plus interest and costs) against the defendants on five separate counts: blacklisting IP addresses of the plaintiffs, libel, invasion of privacy, the publication of allegedly false information and "intentionally interference with a contract".

Steve Linford, of The Spamhaus Project, told us the law suit was without merit and purely motivated by an attempt to waste the time and energy of those fighting against the spam menace.

"Spammers will try anything. These lawsuits are intended to tie you up in defending it, wasting time and money," said Linford.

The Register's item highlights just how tedious dealing with those behind junk e-mails can be. Just how much long will our global society choose to tolerate SPAMMERS?
