Microsoft Goes To Germany To Fight Spam
from the gotta-go-where-the-spammers-are dept
While Microsoft has been suing various spammers in the US, their latest move is to go international. They've apparently filed a lawsuit in Germany against a German spamming company. Here's where the story gets interesting. The guy in charge of the company claims that he's completely innocent -- and blames all of the spamming on "out of control partners" who he refuses to actually name. This wouldn't be completely out of question in the spam world, but as it's this guy's company, it seems perhaps he should have chosen his business partners more carefully.
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.
