EarthLink Versus Cyber Promotions

Source: Internet Society News

EarthLink Network Inc. was granted an injunction on 7 May against CyberPromotions, Inc., a distributor of mass, unsolicited commercial email, preventing the company from sending or transmitting its messages through EarthLink's system or to its members. The ruling occurred in EarthLink's recently filed lawsuit against Cyber Promotions, in which EarthLink seeks both injunctive relief and monetary damages in relation to CyberPromotions' ongoing bombardment of EarthLink's members with unsolicited email advertisements, commonly known as spam.

"This is a landmark victory in EarthLink's mission to protect the rights of our members and maintain a spam-free Internet," said Charles (Garry) Betty, president and CEO of EarthLink Network. "We did what we said we were going to do and that is to declare war on spammers."
