Verizon finds that stopping text message spam isn't so easy

Just like with regular spammers, Verizon is discovering that suing a text message spammer doesn't necessarily accomplish anything (though we bet it feels really good). They just won an injunction in federal court against Jacob Brown, who had been sending literally millions of spam text messages to Verizon subscribers, but he never bothered to show up in court and has pretty much disappeared completely, which is a pretty good sign that he probably won't bother paying attention to a court order.
