Quick Update: Scott Richter Makes the News

This isn’t the first time he’s run into legal issues over advertising. As I mentioned before, he’s had to settle with both Microsoft and the State of New York regarding allegations relating to spam.

This time around, Richter, CEO of MediaBreakaway, (previously known as OptinRealBig), is being accused by MySpace of having "arranged for millions of spam 'bulletins"' to be sent from MySpace users' accounts without their knowledge by gaining access to them illegally, according to the lawsuit.

If you want to learn more about Richter, Wikipedia and Google are both great places to start.

I've lived in Chicago since 2006. I spend a lot of time in hotels. I spend the time catching up on emails, blogging, writing shell scripts, and solving complex email-related equations. The system says I've been a Blogger user since April 2006. Actually, most of my sites are far older -- spamresource.com in particular has been a dumping ground for my thoughts on spam going back to 2001. I've been doing the whole "blog thing" for years, before I knew to call it blogging. I'm a jazz fan and my favorite club in the world is the Artists' Quarter in St. Paul, Minnesota.
