FTC Charges Seven Companies for Affiliate Spam

Ken Magill reports:

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has charged seven companies with violating anti-porn provisions of the CAN-SPAM Act as a result of activity by their marketing affiliates, the commission announced yesterday.

Though the seven firms didn't e-mail consumers directly, they operated affiliate marketing programs in which they paid others to send spam on their behalf, the FTC said.

Under the CAN-SPAM Act, which became effective Jan. 1, 2004, companies are liable for illegal spam sent by their affiliates.

At the FTC's request, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed suit against three of the companies: TJ Web Productions of Henderson, Nev., Cyberheat Inc. of Tucson, Ariz., and Impulse Media of Seattle. The DOJ is seeking unspecified civil penalties and a permanent bar on illegal marketing by the firms.
