First lawsuit filed under Washington State's tough new anti-spam law, which entitles recipients of unsolicited commercial bulk email to recover damages for any such email that conceals the true identity or location of the sender, contains a misleading subject line, or uses the domain name of a third party without permission. Plaintiffs, a group of Issaquah, Washington businesspeople, brought the action against World Touch Networks and its owner Christopher Lee Knight, after receiving deceptive bulk email promoting Bull's Eye Gold, a software produced by World Touch and used for harvesting email addresses from the Internet.
