Each unsolicited fax could net $500
Published: August 19, 2003
Spam is becoming an interesting business. In what could be a landslide decision the Dallas Cowboys have been ordered to pay US $500 for each unsollicited fax they’ve send through a telemarketing company that specialises in these kind of assaults.
Plaintiff’s lawyer Julius Glickman of Houston said American Blast Fax sent the fax at least once to 125,000 locations. Those recipients will be notified they are eligible for up to $500 for each unsolicited fax.
If any funds remain, the Cowboys have agreed to donate it to charity, Glickman said.
True, the settlement still has to be approved by a Dallas Judge but the first strike for equality in justice in this case has already been overwhelmingly made:
In April, the Texas House overwhelmingly rejected a measure to shield the football team and some other businesses from potentially costly class-action lawsuits.
