MediaPost: Spam Case Yields Modest Settlement

The Massachusetts spam case against DC Enterprises - one of the many cases billed as a "first" Can-Spam Act case - settled for the relatively small sum of $25,000. The Floridian-owned company had been accused of sending out mortgage spam. Email marketing expert Bill McCloskey told MediaPost this was completely insufficient to deter spammers, as it can be "a very high-margin, very lucrative" illegal enterprise.
