NEW YORK (AP) - America Online has filed five
federal lawsuits targeting spammers it accuses of
sending some 1 billion junk e-mail messages
promoting mortgages, steroids and pornography
to its subscribers.
The case resulted from about 8 million individual
spam complaints from subscribers, most of whom
used a "Report Spam" feature AOL introduced last
fall, the company said Tuesday.
The lawsuits, one filed Friday and the rest Monday
in the U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Va., are the
first anti-spam cases AOL launched since May 2001.
They seek damages of more than $10 million plus
an end to the messages.
