MySpace Wins Record $234M From Spammers

MySpace has been awarded $234 million from spammers in what's believed to be the largest such judgment ever, AP reports. A federal court ordered two notorious spammers to pay damages for sending hundreds of thousands of messages to MySpace members. The social networking site hailed the award as a “landmark.”

"MySpace has zero tolerance for those who attempt to act illegally on our site," said the company’s chief security officer. “It’s our job to send a message to stop them.”
