San Francisco Chronicle:  “A judge has awarded a San Francisco attorney $7,000 in damages in a rare trial under California’s anti-spam law – $1,000 for each unsolicited, misleading commercial e-mail he received.  The ads violated California’s 2004 anti-spam law . . . . [that] prohibits sending an uninvited commercial e-mail from California, or to a California recipient, that misrepresents either the source or the subject.”
