SPAMMED MAN SUED BY SPAMMER
A man who complained about spamming is being sued for defamation
19 January 2005

A man who complained about receiving spam from a US company is now being sued…by his alleged spammers. According to an article on Silicon.com, the New Hampshire firm Atriks has filed a suit against Jay Stuler, claiming that they lost contracts after the complaints were made. They are also claiming for defamation, accusing Stuler of calling the company’s CEO a “criminal” and branding the company a “notorious spam gang.”

Stuler, who claims he received unsolicited emails from the firm for two years before complaing, says on his website: “They apparently are angry that spamming has become difficult for them and blame me.”
