Spam Arrest is a company that sells an anti-spam service. They attempted to sue some spammers and, as has been widely reported, lost badly. This case emphasizes three points that litigious anti-spammers seem not to grasp:

  • Under CAN SPAM, a lot of spam is legal.
  • Judges hate plaintiffs who try to be too clever, and hate sloppy preparation even more.
  • Never, ever, file a spam suit in Seattle.
