FC: DMCA-suing 321 Studios says it's no longer a spammer

[Declan McCullagh <declan () well com>]

I've received spam advertising 321 Studios products. I don't have any 
evidence 321 Studios itself sent it, but certainly they had not been 
punishing their affiliates who were spamming. I welcome their statement 
that they've changed their policy.

Declan,

I thought I would drop you a line and inform you first that we have now 
adopted a ZERO TOLERANCE Anti-Spam policy. You may view the details here at 
http://www.321studios.com/affiliates.htm

I noticed you thought (and wrote) that WE were indeed a party of spammers 
and I believe it is now time for you to set the record straight. We have 
tried, unsuccessfully, to control the efforts of unethical affiliates, but 
after repeated attempts, see no other way than to completely ban email 
advertising in any form, including opt-in.



Thanks,

Robert H Moore
President
