Microsoft, Amazon.com file anti-spam lawsuit
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
They are on opposite sides of Lake Washington, and sometimes on opposite sides of the technology world, but two Seattle-area tech giants have found common ground in a fight against deceptive and fraudulent e-mail.
A joint lawsuit announced yesterday by Amazon.com and Microsoft is the first legal case to result from a spam-fighting collaboration between the companies that began about a year ago. The suit targets a Canadian firm alleged to have used Microsoft's Hotmail service to send misleading commercial e-mails purporting to come from Amazon.com.
