[SpamCop-List] [MEDIA] Email marketer sues anti-spam group Spamcop

[Redstone]

San Francisco (CA) - Scott Richter, President of Email marketing firm 
OptinRealBig.com, has filed suit against Ironport, which runs the 
anti-spam website Spamcop. According to Richter, Spamcop's 
initiatives have damaged the reputation of his company and forces 
ISPs to terminate contractual agreements with OptinRealBig.com and 
its upstream providers.

So, again we have testimony that SpamCop is having an effect on this 
spam & scam operation.. and as usual, Richter (Wholesalebandwidth, 
etc.) is still the pr-ck as he always is.


===>"Tortuous Interference with Contract, Interference with 
Contractual Relationship, Intentional Interference with Prospective 
Economic Advantage, Negligent Interference with Prospective Economic 
Advantage, Unfair Competition, Trade Libel and asked the Court for 
Injunctive Relief." 

Translation: Frea Speach.



===>The complaint alleges that "prior to sending solicited complaints 
by consumers to the Optin's originating ISP's, Spamcop alters the 
complaints it receives by removing the email address of the person or 
entity seeking to be taken off a mailing list thereby rendering the 
email anonymous."

Rule #1. Richter does NOT honor removal requests and SpamCop's 
purpose is to stop the spamming by chopping his access off. (The only 
way to get this SOB to stop.)



===>Richter claims that because the complaints fail to identify the 
original email sender, Optin cannot comply with the CAN-SPAM ACT, 
which requires the sender of an email to remove the address of any 
person who does not desire to receive any further email. Optin would 
have "no means to determine if the recipient of the email has 
previously requested the email," Richter said in a statement. 


Rule #1, #2, and #3. NO ONE opts-in with Richter. (Been spammed by 
this a--hole on numerous occasions.) Again Richter does NOT honor 
removal requests and usually will end up signing you up for more of 
his useless crap. 



===>In parallel lawsuits against Richter, the two parties say that 
his firm conducted in illegal spam campaigns through 514 compromised 
IP addresses in 35 countries spanning six continents.


Overall, don't be fooled by Richter's rhetoric.


In the meantime, study the Rules of Spamming:
