Going To Court Over Spam
from the sue-'em-all dept
I'm currently looking into taking Tickets.com to court for continually spamming me, despite numerous attempts at unsubscring from their mailing list (which I don't believe I ever signed up for in the first place). I've followed all of their instructions for getting removed from the list, and it hasn't worked. I have all of their emails, as well as my unsubscribe messages saved. I tried to follow the instructions of the California Attorney General who claims they're looking for examples of spam to California residents from California companies, but my emails to them bounced (anyone have a better way to contact them?) at the samspade.org email address they supply. So, I find it interesting to read this next article about how it's difficult to take spammers to court, since it mostly depends on the specific judge you happen to appear in front of. They say that those who want to take spammers to court need to do it on principle, rather than for money. That's fine with me. I'm more than happy to make an example of a spammer that refuses to take me off their list. If anyone has any other suggestions on ways to convince Tickets.com to take me off their list, I'd like to hear them.
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.
