Hotmail Takes the Offensive Against Spammers

LEADING FREE WEB-BASED E-MAIL PROVIDER TAKES AGGRESSIVE LEGAL ACTION

www.hotmail.com

Sunnyvale, CA - January 26, 1998- Hotmail (www.hotmail.com), the
world's largest Web-based e-mail service with 10 million active
accounts, today announced that it has filed suit in federal court
against eight organizations. The suit alleges that the offenders
forged Hotmail's "hotmail.com" domain name into the return addresses
of unsolicited commercial and offensive e-mail messages that
wrongfully identified Hotmail as the originating service.

Hotmail has a strict anti-spam policy that begins with the Hotmail
Terms of Service. These terms - which prohibit members from various
abuses of the service, including the transmission of spam and
offensive material - are strictly enforced by Hotmail's customer
service operation. Hotmail also is a leading participant in numerous
anti-spam efforts, including the Center for Democracy & Technology's
monthly ad-hoc meetings in Washington, DC, advising the FTC on the
issue. Hotmail is also a top-ten contributor to the "spam-L" mailing
list - an active and well respected anti-spam community.

Hotmail has implemented a number of site-wide technical measures
designed to make it extremely difficult to send spam from a Hotmail
account. Where these efforts have practically eliminated
Hotmail-originated spam, it is possible to create e-mail messages
outside of the Hotmail system and insert an "@hotmail.com" e-mail
address in the header, making it appear to have been sent by a Hotmail
member. This practice is widespread and is a problem for many large
ISPs and e-mail providers. Such forged return addresses (found in the
header of the e-mail message) disguise the originator's identity and
redirect the angry response to the unknowing service provider.

"The transmission of spam is a practice widely condemned in the
Internet community and is of significant concern to Hotmail," said
Randy Delucchi, director of customer support for Hotmail. "We will
continue to pursue those whom we believe deceitfully hide behind
Hotmail's trusted brand and name, and hold them responsible under
federal laws."

In its complaint, Hotmail notes that deceptive practices of spammers
damage its reputation and business. Hotmail alleges trademark
infringement and dilution, unfair competition, violations of the
federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, as well as fraud and libel. The
suit seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages against each
of the eight defendants, named below:

Van$ Money Pie; ALS Enterprises, Inc.; LCGM, Inc.; Christopher Moss
d/b/a Genesis Network; Claremont Holdings Ltd.; Consumer Connections
(Charlotte, N. Carolina); Palmer & Associates (San Diego, Calif.); and
Financial Research Group (El Cajon, Calif.).

The action, filed in United States District Court for the Northern
District of California, San Jose Division, also asks the court for a
preliminary and permanent injunction against the spammers.

About Hotmail

leading provider of globally accessible free Web-based electronic
mail. Hotmail's service was recently named on PC Computing's coveted

From Edupage:

SUIT CHALLENGES USE OF FILTERING SOFTWARE IN PUBLIC LIBRARY
The American Civil Liberties Union and a columnist for the San Francisco
Examiner are among eight plaintiffs challenging the constitutionality of a
decision by a library in Loudon County, Virginia, to use filtering software
to block certain Internet sites from its publicly available computers. The
X-Stop software, which is intended to screen out obscene material or
sexually explicit language, is blocking sites that include some mainstream
newspapers, a Methodist church, a university women's association, and a
safe-sex page for teenagers. An ACLU attorney says: "We should hold
libraries to the higher standards of the First Amendment. You simply can't
block books that are constitutionally protected." The chair of the
library's board says: "The library has the right to choose the material in
its library. We could become the financers of pornography." (AP 8 Feb 98)

Subject: Subject: File 5--Re: Brian Milburn (Cu Digest #10.17 Sun 8 Mar 98)

Several people have expressed an interest in finding out what
Cybersitter blocks. I recently did a paper on blocking software, and
found the following file.

The first part is a list of words or thoughts that Cybersitter deems
inappropriate for children, and removes from all text transmitted
or recieved while the program is active.

It is followed by a list of domains that Cybersitter forbids access
to. These include pornographic sites, sites that advocate
alternative lifestyles, sites that criticise Cybersitter, or blocking
software in general, and quite a few universities and ISP's that had
a few pages, somewhere on their servers, that were deemed
inappropriate.

I have no idea how up to date this file is.

I found it several months ago at

[A press release that may be of interest to FC.

Disclaimer: I speak for myself, not EFF, not my employer, not the Learning Co.

PARIS, March 25 The Learning Company, Inc. (NYSE: TLC), today
demonstrated its Internet filtering software, "Cyber Patrol," at an
international forum of policymakers examining Internet content and the
role of regulation.

The educational forum, attended by official delegates to the Organization
for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), follows two years of
investigation by the OECD's Committee for Information, Computer and
Communication Policy into how countries are dealing with content in
the new online medium.

"We are honored to have been invited to represent the filtering
industry at this forum," said Susan Getgood, director of corporate
communications for The Learning Company. "We plan to demonstrate how
Internet filtering technology provides users with the ability to
effectively manage the content they access over the Internet better
than any national law ever could."

Governments around the globe have been grappling with whether or
not to attempt to regulate content on the Internet, including material
that is pornographic, violent or otherwise objectionable to some
audiences. The forum today precedes a meeting on Thursday by OECD
delegates, who are expected to discuss whether additional work is
required to finish compiling an "inventory" of how member states are
addressing Internet content.

Some OECD member states have pushed for the creation of guidelines
for countries to follow in drafting regulations on Internet
content. The United States, after the failure last year of the
Communications Decency Act, now supports a policy of self-regulation
and empowerment of individual computer users designed to encourage the
free flow of information. This allows the Internet to achieve its full
potential as an economic and educational tool.

"Our role is to demonstrate for delegates the best,
state-of-the-art and most widely used filtering technology,"
Ms. Getgood said, adding that "Cyber Patrol" is available over the
Internet to users in all the countries represented at the OECD.

The OECD Forum: Internet Content Self-Regulation included 18
speakers on four panels from companies and organizations such as the
Associazione Italiana Internet Providers, the Australian Information
Industries Association, Telecom Service Association of Japan, Groupe
Bull of France, Sympatico/Medialinx of Canada, AT&T and IBM of the
United States.

"Cyber Patrol" is the most international of the leading
U.S. filtering software products. It is available in multiple
languages and can be downloaded over the Internet from anywhere in the
world. This spring, The Learning Company will introduce localized,
retail versions of "Cyber Patrol" software in France, the Netherlands
and the United Kingdom, with Spanish and German language retail
versions to follow later in the year. A Japanese language version is
already available through a distributor in Japan. In addition, "Cyber
Patrol" is available in French and German to European subscribers
accessing the Internet over CompuServe, and is offered by a growing
number of telecommunications companies, such as British Telecom and
New Zealand Telecom, that provide Internet access.

Ms. Getgood noted that in addition to being the filtering software
most widely-used by families and schools wishing to manage children's
access to the Internet, a growing number of businesses throughout
Europe are using network versions of "Cyber Patrol" to manage employee
access to the Internet.

"Cyber Patrol" allows parents to tailor access to the Internet to
each individual child according to age and maturity. The software
filters Internet content based on a proprietary list of sites compiled
over more than two years by a team of teachers and parents who have
researched more than five million sites on the World Wide Web. This
list, called the CyberNOT list, contains more than 50,000 sites deemed
inappropriate because of nudity, violence, hate speech, graphic and
shocking images, and material that encourages the inappropriate use of
drugs and alcohol. "Cyber Patrol" software also contains a list of
kid-friendly sites that parents can use for younger children as a
restricted "cyber playground." These educational and entertaining
sites comprise the CyberYES list. Both lists are constantly updated.

Parents can add or delete individual sites to customize the list
to a family's own values and beliefs. Parents also can choose to
filter using a system known as PICS. PICS systems in use today include
rating systems that support self-labeling by Web site owners and
independent, third-party labeling bureaus.

"Cyber Patrol" does more than simply control access to the
Web. Families can control the amount of time each week children spend
surfing the Net and select which hours each day a child is allowed
online. Parents can control participation in chat rooms, while a
feature called ChatGard allows families to protect their children from
inadvertently divulging personal information to strangers online.

In the United States, "Cyber Patrol" is the parental control
technology offered by America Online, CompuServe, Prodigy, AT&T,
Ameritech, GTE and dozens of individual Internet Service Providers. In
the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on the Communications Decency Act,
"Cyber Patrol" was cited by the court as a way of protecting children
that did not infringe on Americans' right of free speech. Since the
court's decision, the software has grown in popularity and
sophistication.

The OECD, founded in 1960, includes Austria, Australia, Belgium,
Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland,
Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway,
Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and
the United States.

The Learning Company, Inc. develops, publishes and markets a
family of premium software brands that educate across every age, from
young children to adults. The company's products are sold in more than
23,000 retail stores in North America and through multiple
distribution channels including school sales, online, direct marketing
and OEM. The company also develops, publishes and distributes products
internationally through subsidiaries in France, Germany, the United
Kingdom, Holland and Japan, and with distributors throughout Europe,
Latin America and the Pacific Rim. The Paris headquarters of The
Learning Company, TLC Edusoft, are located at 132, boulevard

Islands in the Clickstream:
The Air We Breathe

Nothing is harder to see than what we believe so deeply we don't know we
believe it. That's why a frontal assault on our core beliefs is always
doomed. Our minds think they themselves are under assault, rather than the
beliefs they have adopted, and defenses go into gear to rationalize,
minimize, or deny what they're hearing. Or else the anomalous data creates
so much cognitive dissonance that our minds just plain shut down.

The degree to which technologies of communication, surveillance and control
have insinuated themselves into our everyday lives is striking. Here in
Wisconsin, a bill just sailed through the legislature that expanded the
state's authority to collect health care information. The bill allows the
Office of Health Care Information to collect and publish financial and
other data from doctors and health care providers in addition to data
gathered from hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers.

Remarkable to those concerned about "function creep" was the lack of
concern on the part of the public. Everyone pretty much lined up on behalf
of "efficiency and safety," the two horsemen of the apocalypse of privacy
rights. The legislative committee was "stacked" on behalf of the measure
and the public was informed after the fact, the bill having been called
suddenly the night before the vote was scheduled.

This is a holographic slice of a bigger picture. The technologies of
linkage and the power of those who profit from using them are the true
weapons of information warfare. That war is fought not with lasers and
satellites patrolling the "high ground" of earth orbit, but in the trenches
of our daily lives. Because the consequences of ubiquitous linkage are
often invisible, the average person - with limited time and mental
resources - is unaware that the hidden infrastructure of a global political
economy is being built out of the mundane data of their lives.

When I recently pressed a career officer in the intelligence community
about practices that alarmed me, he maintained that those practices were
illegal, hence nonexistent. After a few drinks, however, he acknowledged
that many intelligence agents find it easier to ask forgiveness than
permission and act accordingly. That all-too-human reality is why we will
pay in the future for every time we refuse to speak or act in the present
on behalf of the privacy that secures our freedoms. Without secure
boundaries, there are no individuals =85 and no individual rights. The
primacy of the collective, a by-product of the transforming power of
information technology, is paradoxically entering mainstream thinking as a
priority through the political action of those who believe they are
supporting a conservative, business-friendly agenda.

It's as if the entire world is joining NATO, justifying Cold War behaviors
by invoking the Evil Enemy. But unlike the Cold War, when there was at
least another camp, the "other side" now means people anywhere who oppose
the converging self-interested policies of the
military-industrial-information complex.

And now for something completely different.

Children's toys are often an early warning system in which the future first
becomes visible.

"Sound Bites" is the name of a new technology recently introduced at the
annual Toy Fair in New York. A person inserts a lollipop in a Sound Bites
holder, and when they bite into it, sound vibrations travel through their
teeth to the inner ear where they are heard as normal sounds. This magical
effect lets snackers hear music (guitars, drums, or sax), special effects,
or voices.

The notion of slipping advertisements, propaganda, or suggestions into our
meals is so outrageous I expect it to be adopted without a murmur. One
imagines voices coming into our heads from every artifact. Deserts in the
company cafeteria, basketballs as we dribble down the court, even sex toys
will all have something to say. Everything will be a means for
communication =85 as indeed, everything already is, but today those messages
are still mostly implicit, while these songs and jingles will be as
explicit and close to our noses as bumper stickers.

And now for something even more different.

A hobby in which I have indulged myself for years is the investigation of
UFO phenomena. It's an interesting puzzle, requiring cross-referencing
texts in the public record with the confidences of mostly plain people, as
well as intelligence agents, air force officers, and airline pilots. Like
most amateur investigators, I find that ninety per cent plus of what I read
or hear can be explained or discarded, but - again, like most - the
remaining accounts are pretty compelling.

Yet what interests me as much as the data is the widespread ridicule that
greets even the most reasonable statements about the phenomena, e.g. it is
worthy of investigation, if only as a psychological or sociological
phenomena. One hesitates even to mention this interest because of that
predictable response.

Such ridicule apparently became official policy around 1953. Before that,
for five years (1947-1952), UFO phenomena was taken seriously by
governments in public and private. An early head of Project Blue Book
stated that behind the Pentagon's closed doors, the argument was not about
the reality of the phenomenon, but whether its origins were Russian or
extraterrestrial. A widespread wave of sightings in 1952 became the point
of departure for a policy of debunking. Air force fighter pilots and
commercial airline pilots alike have told me how they and their colleagues
learned quickly not to risk their careers or reputations by making a report
or going public with details of an encounter.

Indifference to the erosion of privacy rights =85 candy that sings to our
brains =85 a policy of public ridicule that discredits innocent people.

It is easier than ever to engage in sleight-of-hand, manufacture a
consensus, and manipulate dissent. Yet the truth too is boosted by
technology. Truth too sings to our brains, and the linkage technologies
that magnify the fictions we seem to need to sleep easily in our beds will
disseminate as well the truths that fuel our hunger for knowledge and our
passion to be free.
