Spam Buster busted by Spammers

Proving that Spammers truly have no shame, a group of spammers are suing Jay Stuler for having reported them to ISPs and getting their accounts shut down.

A man who claims he has been receiving unsolicited emails from a US company for two years is now being sued by them, for branding them spammers and reporting their actions to ISPs. Jay Stuler is now on the receiving end of a lawsuit from New Hampshire firm Atriks, which alleges Stuler caused financial harm to the firm and caused it to lose contracts. The suit also states that Stuler had been making defamatory statements, including calling CEO Brian Haberstroh a "criminal" and the company "a notorious spam gang", which the suit denies. Stuler, however, says on his website the case is a "frivolous lawsuit designed to harass and intimidate" and claims the reason he's been sued by Atriks is because, after complaining to his ISP about the alleged spam, the company saw its accounts closed down by the service providers.

This is just silly. But it is certainly in the RIAA philosophy - even when you are in the wrong, sue everyone in sight on the chance they can't fight back. Hopefully, Mr. Stuler will keep up the good fight, so that the Can-SPAM act will survive.
