Spammer sues anti-spammer for $4 million

Spammer sues anti-spammer for $4 million:

Can you imagine trying to get someone to stop spamming you, only to be sued for a whopping US$4 million? That's exactly what has happened to Mark Mumma, after he took his displeasure with Cruise.com to the web, and started threatening to collect the fines he believed he was due. Between December 29, 2004 and January 19 of this year, Mumma received four unsolicited e-mails from Cruise.com, which is, in theory at least, illegal in Oklahoma on account of the states anti-spam laws. Mumma, fed up, called the parent company Omega World Travel, and even recorded the conversation (PDF). After talking to their legal counsel, Mumma was left with the impression that his address, along with several others, would be removed from their subsidiary's newsletter.
