A digital photo-sharing service run by Eastman Kodak Co. settled charges it sent e-mails to 2 million recipients and failed to give them a way to opt out of future messages, the Federal Trade Commission said Thursday.
Kodak Imaging Network, previously known as Ofoto Inc., agreed to pay a $26,331 penalty for violating a U.S. law aimed at curbing spam.
The FTC said it imposed the penalty to recoup the total gross proceeds from the e-mail campaign and barred Kodak (Research) from future violations.
