Suing Fax.com For $500 Billion
from the making-a-point dept
Apparently, it's not a smart idea to piss off Steve Kirsch (who I've made fun of in the past). Following closely on the heals of the FCCs decision to fine Fax.com $5.38 million for violating fax laws, Kirsch is suing the company for $500 billion (yes, with a b). He is sick of hearing his fax machine receiving unsolicited faxes at 3am. He's trying to turn this into a class action suit, and says he may go after spammers next. His quote: "I have the resources, time and money." Okay, Steve, I'm on your side on this one.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
