SpamCop Victim Report
E-mail Freedom Fighters!

---

If your e-business has been a victim of SpamCop abuse or your ISP has shut you down due to
spam accusations, we want to know about it. Our intent is to document how wide-spread this
issue is and how many legitimate business are unnecessarily hurt by false-claims of spam.
Where we go with this depends. If the problem is sufficient, especially in the U.S, we may consider taking the
issue before the Federal Trade Commission or even Congress.
