CALIFORNIA: FINE FOR SPAM [Author: Arcadian Del Sol]

Kozmo.com, the online delivery service that fell down go boom last month, found its insolvent ass in court this past week over allegations that they sent unwanted spam to someone. I know I know – I was shocked, too.

Ellen Spertus is now officially $77.50 richer after taking Kozmo to small claims court in California. She alleged that after informing the online corporation that she no longer wanted junk mail from them, they issued her a “okay you are now off our list, by the way here’s this month’s special deals…” message.

I doubt I’ll ever collect,” Ms. Spertus said to reporters after the victorious verdict.

Kozmo.com was unreachable by the press, as well as most DNS servers.
