Nope, you are assuming there was a monetary settlement by the defendants when there was not in this case. The FTC does NOT go to court. Right or wrong. All cases are 'settled'. In this particular one, not only did the defendant do nothing wrong, admit to doing nothing wrong, in addition they did NOT PAY a penny in fines or restitution since there was nothing to restitute.
It's a perfect example of goverment bureaucracy... the FTC doesn't drop cases, they 'settle' them. If you don't ever get in front of the judge then you never lose.
Backov my sweet, the only spams that bug me are the ones that auto-launch a browser with a ton of pop ups. Of course I have special presents for those guys, usually involving their sponsors not cutting them a check... the rest I don't care about.
As for Spamcop, anyone here that doesn't realize those guys are spammers building the biggest and best remove list on the planet is in lala land
