Social network website MySpace has won a £115 million payout over junk emails sent to its members in what is believed to be the largest anti-spam award ever.

Notorious "Spam King" Sanford Wallace and his partner Walter Rines sent more than 730,000 messages, many made to look like they were from members' friends, MySpace said.

Under U.S. anti-spam laws, each violation entitles MySpace to $100 (£50) in damages - or three times that figure when carried out "willfully and knowingly".

They're giving the money to the wrong people.

Be fair scallion; Murdoch needs that extra few million for his wee empire.
