Federal anti-hacking law permits cybercrime victims to sue their attackers. So why is that software companies, webmasters and computer makers are the ones being hauled into court?

Can we sue for those pain in the butt Pop UP ads? 2002-01-07
and can we sue Microsoft for the instant porn that we get on hotmail? (5 replies)

I wonder if we can stop Pop up ads for the time it takes to read these UNWANTED intrusions that are placed on our computers WITHOUT OUR Permission.

I hope so... AS THEY ARE A WASTE OF EVERYONE's TIME.

If this is what it takes to stop the Spam, and stop the
unwanted ads then I am for it.

Can we sue Microsoft for a situation where when signing up for a hotmail account, and with an e-mail address that we have never once used or told anyone about, that we start getting unwanted PORN within a short time later? MS has about $36-$40 billion in cash (next closest on list is GE with only 8 billion) and Microsoft lets this unwanted PORN spam happen (OR do they get paid by the Porn people to let it happen)!!! Every parent I know is keeping their kids away from hotmail and MSN accounts because of this one issue. It is criminal to let it happen, Microsoft should pay out big for that!
