--Small ISP Wins US $2.6 Million in Spam Case (May 6 & 7, 2010) A US District Court in California has awarded Asis Internet Services nearly US $2.6 million for spam messages sent over the Internet service provider's (ISP) network between November 2006 and May 2008. The ISP has approximately 1,500 customers; the spam caused Asis to lose business and incur costs associated with fixing the problem. The judge awarded Asis US $865,000, but tripled the damages because of aggravated circumstances. The defendants, the principals of a business called Find a Quote, were found to have violated 2003's CAN-SPAM Act.
