Microsoft Corp. said Tuesday that it was stepping up legal efforts to combat unsolicited e-mail, announcing 15 lawsuits against spammers in the United States and the United Kingdom. The lawsuits claims that the defendants have sent more than 2 billion spam messages to MSN and Hotmail customers. “These lawsuits follow an investigation that traversed 34 borders,” said Brad Smith, Microsoft’s general counsel. “This is a global problem that requires a global solution.”
