A group of Florida-based porn peddlers, penis enlargement and Viagra 
spammers has united to file suit against anti-spam organisations.  

Under the newly-registered name EmarketersAmerica.org, a front set up 
by notorious spammer Eddy Marin's lawyer Mark E. Felstein, the suit 
seeks to force prominent anti-spam organisations to stop blocking 
their spam.  

A long list of individuals and anti-spam organisations preventing 
bulk mailers from getting their spam out, including the UK-based 
Spamhaus Project and Spews.org, are listed in the suit. The civil 
action law-suit, filed on April 14, seeks an injunction against anti-
spam organisation on behalf of the plaintiffs. It also seek damages 
of $75 million (plus interest and costs) against the defendants on 
five separate counts: blacklisting IP addresses of the plaintiffs, 
libel, invasion of privacy, the publication of allegedly false 
information and "intentionally interference with a contract".
