Matthew writes: Hormel foods has filed suit against the Spam Prevention Early Warning System for blocking the delivery of Spam to many of its customers.
“SPEWS and other spam blockers have been put on notice that Hormel will not tolerate Anti-spam activities. We’ve been very happy about the way that the Internet community has embraced spam. Our research shows that spam is by far the most talked about food product on the Internet. But we don’t want the words “spam” and “anti” ever being concatenated. People who attempt to concatenate spam or block the delivery of spam will see us in court.
Rather than subscribing to Spam blocking services, Hormel recommends forwarding unwanted Spam to the hungry.
