Ken Hirschman from Goodmail is holding a session on "Successful Templates for Prosecuting Spammers in Civil and Criminal Actions" at the next MAAWG session in San Francisco (http://www.maawg.org/news/GeneralMeeting_Jan07/)
* presentations by perhaps ELNK, MSFT and AOL (OTHERS?) for showing the template they use when going after spammers in civil and criminal pursuits
* concrete examples, not just high-level
* how to convince your lawyers that enforcement is worth the effort
-Dennis Dayman
Sadly, that session is members-only. Unless some member corporation wants to sponsor me...?
