Billion dollar spam killer?
I'm not sure, but it does put the professional spammers (as opposed to your aunt Jane who forwards you every Internet hoax, chain letter, inspirational letter, and been around the Internet six or seven million times joke she gets) on notice that their days are numbered. I think that the ISP is unlikely to collect, but i hope he can at least seize all the assets of the companies he won against. I wonder how likely it is that he'll pass along any of what he does collect, after legal fees and costs, to his customers. He's just won a huge lawsuit against three spammers.
