Spam News
by Sue Walsh on November 30, 2007

Hormel filed dozens of similar suits against other companies using the term Spam, including Yahoo, Earthlink, and Google's Postini. Most of the cases settled out of court in favor of Hormel or were suspended pending the outcome of Spam Arrest's case.
"Hormel retained several high priced expert witnesses in an effort to deprive Spam Arrest of its lawful use of the trademark," said Derek A. Newman of Newman & Newman, lead counsel for Spam Arrest. "Spam Arrest successfully overcame that testimony, and now Spam Arrest is not only the first company other than Hormel to achieve a federal trademark registration with the term 'spam', but also first to prevail against the processed food giant."
"We are thrilled the court affirmed our right to continue using the SPAM ARREST trademark to identify the best spam elimination software available," added Brian Cartmell, CEO of Spam Arrest. "Spam Arrest made a decision that we would not be bullied. Consumers are smarter than to confuse us with the source for meat called spam."
Hormel plans to appeal.

I have been a loyal "paying" member of Spamarrest for a while and the last few months their service has gone down in reliability. They have lost emails and the service has gone down.
Today I canceled my recently renewed account with them and asked for a refund of the unused portion of my service. Here is their reply!
"Hi David,
Thanks once again.
David, I am very sorry to tell you that we are not able to offer you a refund for your account. You may continue to use your Spam Arrest account till 2008-10-01 by reactivating the account.
I truly apologize for your inconvenience, David. Please do let me know if you need anything else.

I had been a loyal and paying customer of Spamarrest for some time, recently their service has been erratic and I lost a number of important messages. After not receiving adequate support I decided to cancel my recently renewed account and asked for a refund of the unused portion. Here is their response:
