A small internet service provider (ISP) is rewarded for blowing the whistle on a spammer.
The small ISP network, CIS Internet Services, of Clinton, Iowa, has just won one of the largest payouts ever extracted from a spammer. The total amount won in the suit is $11.2 billion.
James McCalla, of Florida, was found to have sent more than 280 million illegal and unsolicited e-mails advertising mortgage and debt consolidation services through the ISP’s network.
Prosecutors argued that under state law in effect at the time, CIS was entitled to $10 per illegal e-mail.
