Spam king Sanford "Spamford" Wallace and his partner, Walter Rines, have been judged to pay about $230 million to MySpace for spamming other MySpace members. Total amount of spam the pair sent was more than 730,000 messages. This isn't first time Wallace is judged for spamming. In 2006 he was judged to pay $4 million for internet service provider AOL.
MySpace won't probably ever collect its award but sees the judgement as a big victory for the company. "Anybody who's been thinking about engaging in spam are going to say, `Wow, I better not go there,'" MySpace's chief security officer, Hemanshu Nigam, told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
