Microsoft won $7 million in damages from Spam King Scott Richter - so what? you ask. They can't possibly need that pocket change. Fortunately, they're not just divvying it up among the company's shareholders (or hotmail members, which would have been sweet). Microsoft has pledged to give $1 million to the state of New York to help community centers teach technology skills, and $5 million to invest in its partnerships with governmental agencies that are fighting spam and other "computer-related crimes." They don't say what the other $1 million will go to, and it could be no more than a fancy accounting trick; according to general counsel Brad Smith, "We'll increase our own Internet enforcement efforts and expand technical and investigative support to help law enforcement address computer-related crimes." Maybe the $1 million unaccounted for will go to pay Smith's salary?
