AMERICA ONLINE INC said it has won three lawsuits brought against junk
e-mailers as part of its effort to protect American Online members from unwanted
junk e-mail. The company said it was awarded undisclosed but "substantial"
monetary damages in each of the cases. It said in a statement that the court
applied federal and state computer fraud statutes recognizing that existing
computer fraud statutes apply to the transmission of falsified e-mail. America
Online has also filed nine new lawsuits in five states - California, New York, Iowa,
Florida and Virginia targeting porn-spammers, get-rich-quick schemers and sellers
of spamming software. (Reuters 03:10 PM ET 12/21/98)
