The plaintiffs submitted no less than 17 class action lawsuits against Email spammers, claiming the time necessary to delete the junk mail would be 200,000 hours, or 9 hours a day*365 days* 60 years. Judge Ofer Grosskopf of the Central District Court threw out the lawsuits on principle: All suits were phrased the same way, and the spam companies were not forewarned. “An abuse of the class action lawsuit concept,” wrote Grosskopf.
