Chinese court in first-of-its-type case orders firm to pay $625 fine for spamming activities A Chinese court has fined a domestic company for spamming in one of the first cases of its type, state-run media reported Tuesday.An unnamed firm in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen was ordered to pay 5,000 renminbi ($625) for spamming activities since January, the English-language China Daily reported on its Web site. The paper said the case is believed to be the first prosecuted under the “Measures for the Administration of Internet Email Service” enacted in March.Companies can be fined a maximum of 30,000 renminbi under the new measures. Domestic firms are not really the problem, according to one industry executive. “The biggest spammers in China are not the Chinese,” said Danny Levinson, managing partner of Beijing-based BDL Media, which operates a permission-based e-mail list management service. “The biggest spammers in China are foreigners using Chinese servers to send huge amounts of unsolicited bulk email around the world.” SecurityMalware
