Spamhaus Ignores U.S. Court?

Via p2pnet.net News.

UK anti-spam outfit Spamhaus is ignoring a US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois ruling ordering it to fork out $11,715,000 in damages to e360insight and e360insight's David Linhardt.

The court also told Spamhaus, "to remove Linhardt's ROKSO record and to cease blocking Linhardt's spam," it says.

But the Illinois ruling, "shows U.S. courts can be bamboozled by spammers with ease," says Spamhaus, pointing out the suit went to default judgement when Spamhaus didn't accept US jurisdiction and, therefore, didn't defend it.
