Legal Defense Fund Established by SpamCon Foundation

The SpamCon Foundation has helped lead the fight against spam email. In 2003, SpamCon rose to the challenge of a frivilous SLAPP style lawsuit filed against a number of American citizens and Steve Linford, operater of Spamhaus.org, located in the UK.     SpamCon solicits donations in general to help fund the fight against spam email abuse, but has also established a legal defense fund.         Donate to SpamCon Foundation     This fund was used to help defray the costs of a frivilous suit filed by a number of Florida spammers.         EMarketersAmerica v. Spews.org, et al         Multiple Mirrors of Information on the Lawsuit     The spammers and their lawyer eventually withdrew the suit, but the consequences of the suit were tens of thosands of dollars of legal expenses for the defendents. Please consider donating to the SpamCon legal defense and support funds.     The apparent true purpose of the lawsuit was the hope on the part of the spammers that legal threats against individual anti-spammers might result in one of them revealing the identity of those operating a widely known blocklist of netblocks of Internet Service Providers which appear to not take action to stop spam and spam support services on their netblocks, Spews.org
