AOL versus Cyberpromo
From Reuters:
A federal judge delivered a blow to marketers flooding the Internet with junk
electronic mail, telling a Philadelphia company that it has no First Amendment
right to ply America Online Inc. subscribers with unsolicited messages. The
opinion by Judge Charles R. Weiner represents a setback for Cyber Promotions
Inc., which sends messages to massive mailing lists of on-line subscribers on
behalf of advertisers. In September, AOL began blocking Cyber Promotions'
mailings, saying junk e-mail was a top complaint among members of the on-line
service.
