Robert Alan Soloway, one of the top 10 spammers in the world, was arrested Wednesday after a federal grand jury charged him with mail fraud, wire fraud, e-mail fraud, aggravated identity theft and money laundering. Soloway pleaded not guilty Wednesday afternoon to all charges. Prosecutors say Soloway used computers infected with malicious code to send out millions of junk e-mails since 2003.

Hopefully now I can stop getting so much pron and v1agra spam mail. =/

Google Inc. accidentally sent out e-mail containing a mass mailing worm to about 50,000 members of an e-mail discussion list focused on its Google Video Blog, the company said Tuesday.

“On Tuesday evening, three posts were made to the Google Video Blog-group that should not have been posted,” Google said in a statement, posted late Tuesday night.

Apparently some of the posts contained the W32/Kapser.A@mm mass mailing worm, better known as the “Kama Sutra” worm. They also that they are now taking steps to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

Now, I’m just wondering how exactly one of the biggest internet related companies makes a huge mistake like that? I don’t know about you but I check my emails and posts before I send them off over the internet.

Oh, I should mention for those that don’t know, this is coming just months after their accidental deletion of their own blog and the hijacking of their own blog. Maybe they should invest in hiring better employees instead of buying video sharing sites … just my 2 cents.

A third party is using the DMCA and has asked YouTube to remove Comedy Central clips off of its popular video sharing site. With deep pockets behind them, YouTube will probably see more and more of these from copyright holders. Does this already spell the end of YouTube as we know it?

Hell.com is just 1 of 300 domains for sale by Seevast Corp.’s Moniker unit, quite a few of which could go for more than $1million US in todays live auction. Right now hell.com is a secrative site that doesn’t allow users from the web but for a measly $1mil you can change all that!

In case you didn’t already know former TechTV alumni Leo Laporte and Chris Pirillo have created a new site dubbed UndoTV.com.

The community (you) will determine the direction of our efforts. Certainly, some former TechTV talent has gone on to do fantastic productions far outside the realm of the tech industry. Everybody is welcome to help us undo the idea of television – helping reinvent the way community can influence the active development of a site, its content, and its superstars.

I can’t wait until it goes live 100%. It should be quite interesting!

In an attempt to befriend content providers, the popular video sharing site YouTube has struck a new deal with CBS, Vivendi’s Universal Music Group and Sony BMG Music Entertainment. This is one month after striking a deal with Warner Music.

CBS said it will provide short-form video content for a CBS “brand channel” on YouTube’s site starting this month, Vivendi said it will allow users to access thousands of music videos and that it will also make video content available and will also let YouTube users include some catalog songs in their own amateur video uploads.

More on this as it comes along.
