UK anti-spam outfit Spamhaus is ignoring a US District Court for the
Northern District of Illinois ruling ordering it to fork out
$11,715,000 in damages to e360insight and e360insight's David Linhardt.

The court also told Spamhaus, "to remove Linhardt's ROKSO record and to
cease blocking Linhardt's spam," it says.

But the Illinois ruling, "shows U.S. courts can be bamboozled by
spammers with ease," says Spamhaus, pointing out the suit went to
default judgement when Spamhaus didn't accept US jurisdiction and,
therefore, didn't defend it.
