MySpace, the sometimes controversial social networking website has filed a lawsuit against the "Spam King".  They allege that the "Spam King", Scott Richter, violated several laws including the federal Can-Spam Act, and other state laws.  Richter allegedly gained access to accounts using phishing schemes, and sent out millions of bulletins to MySpace members. 

MySpace is seeking monetary damages and an injunction to keep Richter off MySpace permanently.   This is not the first time the "Spam King" has faced lawsuits.  Microsoft and New York's attorney general filed a round of lawsuits in which Richter was eventually ordered to pay over $7 million in damages.

MySpace has stated they will take more aggressive measures against spammers to protect their community.
