Could be either dumb or disingenuous... but definitely an idiotic position either way.

I'm going to wait a few days until they are all notified of it. You have to remember, being at ASW and all, means that their offices are nearly empty and their entire teams are here networking.
What is the difference between the ad networks and the companies being advertised by the spam? It is only one level of accountability away and if MySpace sent cease and desist letters to those companies, I wonder if they'd sue those companies too. That would be more scary for the future of affiliate advertising of those companies had to take responsibility for affiliates marketing their campaigns.
On the good side for aff networks, they could possibly make the argument that MySpace has the ability to stop spam on their networks with little technical difficulty by evaluating and deactivating links resembling affs in bulletins. Could accepting and remaining someone's friend in myspace be opt-in? This makes me wonder if theres a way to eliminate aff ids and completely conceal the affiliate relationship.

does anyone have an official filing
If a network is named in the suit you'd think they (myspace, the courts) would have told the networks directly...
Does anyone know how to obtain an ACTUAL copy of the court filings?
Or is this all he said she said, oh i trust that guys word?

I am , but I guess we can only wait and see..
But what I dont get is why they say the owner of CPA as hes the spammer.. noone else but him and people he had work for him.
Oh thats because they want the general public to be mad as well,
so it gives them a easier case..
fun times
What the hell reason could you possibly have for having hundreds of email addresses that doesn't involve spamming others?
Networks won't be overly frightened at this point and neither should affiliates until all the information about the lawsuits and the ones being sued is public. Most likely a lot of the bigger networks (assuming they are being sued) will settle quickly which is what MySpace is probably looking for. Great PR at the end of the day making MySpace look good is what I believe Murdoch and his team want. Scott Richter was not chosen by mistake as the initial one to be sued. It makes MySpace look serious as combatants of spam and like I said, makes great PR.
Remember this also comes not even a week after MySpace got sued by the parent's of children who were sexually abused from people they met off myspace.

I am sure they are probably doing everything they can to clean up there image.
You have to wonder how many networks got sued that also legitimately bought media from myspace?

Considering the law suit is being reported on several major news networks, why are you questioning the validity of the claim?
