MySpace parent company News Corp has [filed a lawsuit][1] in Los Angeles Supreme Court against Scott Richter, the "Spam King," for violating state and federal anti-spam laws.
According to the lawsuit, Richter, who was previously sued by Microsoft and settled out of court, either phished MySpace accounts himself or or bought phished accounts to target with his spam campaign.
The lawsuit alleges that Richter "arranged for millions of spam 'bulletins'" to be sent from MySpace users' accounts without their knowledge by gaining access to them illegally.
This is probably the one and only time you'll read this on this blog, but, go MySpace.
