Spamhaus did respond to the suit then never showed-up in court. Stupid to respond to the lawsuit the not show-up then defend yourself. If they wouldn't have responded, the lawsuit would've been dismissed probably.

yea spamhaus isn't in the U.S., Linhardt isn't getting a dime. However, They may sue him for the 11M that he potentially can get, and has a loss on the record. Which means Spamhaus could then go to court and really hit him where it hurts.

Looks like the dirtbag is trying to get control of the domain .. "This ruling is significant because it enables e360 to ask the court to execute on the writ and transfer ownership of spamhaus.org to e360" »www.e360insight.com/news-item1.php

said by David :

I don't think twocows would have the authority in the first place. Plus spamhaus could easily go to other domains and outside U.S. providers. They could also fix this by using a non-us registrar. If they did that I don't think e360 has any hope.

said by The Way Out :

They've already moved it to Gandi, a French registrar.

The fact that a judge would even consider allowing the transfer of a domain, is PROOF that we need ICANN to be OUT OF US CONTROL. The fact that a US company can cause irreparable harm to a non-us based company, by the ruling of a US judge, shows that the US cannot be trusted to run the internet. Spamhuase is NOT BASED IN THE US. The US has NO JURISDICTION. PERIOD. For all the times we say the us should 'run' the internet, this is proof that we aren't capable of doing so.

It goes to show how companies abuse the legal system. Why in the world would spamhause ever bother to hire a lawyer and defend themselves if the courts have no jurisdiction. The spammers knew that, so naturally they would get a default judgement. However, the owners of spamhause have probably been flagged by the bush admininstration nazi's, so if they ever do show up in the US, they will be arrested.

To the owners of spamhuase, don't bother to visit the US. We're almost as much of a police state as you are.

I would like to see their Photos, Names, and Address posted like they do with sex offenders!

Silverstein, a self-employed engineer who runs a web hosting business, claims in the suit to have received at least 87 spam messages promoting the defendants' websites since May 2005. These messages violated Federal anti-spam laws and California state laws because they were allegedly sent through compromised machines and with forged headers, offences against the Federal CAN-SPAM Act. Silverstein is asking for the court to apply an injunction against the defendants along with the imposition of statutory and punitive damages.
