What is keeping someone from spamming >half a dozen or so sites (just enough to get noticed) with the line >"please visit site 'http://www.xyz.com' for more information." The same laws that apply to someone running a false advertisement on TV or newspaper should apply here. Any ISP would be willing to help law enforcement with appropriate warrants to track the identity of the spammer. Take that one step further: we need legislations to make spamming illegal, just like making crank telephone calls is. I've a feeling even the smallest ISP would rather cooperate with law enforcement to help track the identity of the "law-breaking" spammer than the messed up system today where the selp appointed anti-spammers feel good about heaping guilt on ISP's rather than actually punishing the spammer. It is upto us whether we want to extend the civilized system (that gives the state monopoly over judicial matters) that protects our physical property to our cyberspace property or continue to fantasize that every ISP must implement "my version of the AUP".

IMO, this is the best way to hit where it hurts and punish the real offender instead of arm-twisting or hacking into ISP's in the chain. >> And in Interactive Week today, I see Cyber Promotions just signed a >> three year deal with UUNet/Worldcom. Someone was quoted as saying they >> will have the capacity to "send 111 average-sized email messages per >> second". <sarcasm> I'm eager to see which of the anti-spam preachers will be the first to stop peering with and/or taking transit from UUnet (WCOM) in order to stay "clean". </sarcasm> Sanjay.

Earlier today, I was bitching about Inter@ctive Week not following up on the story and simply believing what Cyber Promo put on their web page. Darrell

He can sign all of the deals that he wants. If he doesn't stop his illegal tactics of theft of services, he will be out of business -- we have contacted the local police department after the 3rd or 4th time he used our mail relay -- they believe that charges of theft of service will stick. We are holding off civil suits against cyberpromotions and their clients until criminal charges have been brought. Once he has been charged with criminal theft of service, we will sue both cyber promotions and their clients for damages. He speaks of first amendment rights -- he should pay more attention to laws regarding simple thievery. They will be his downfall. > From owner-nanog(a)merit.edu Wed Apr 23 01:04:41 1997 > Date: Wed, 23 Apr 1997 00:54:33 -0400 (EDT) > From: Charles Sprickman <spork(a)inch.com> > To: MarkG <ceo(a)netconcept.com> > Cc: Daniel Senie <dts(a)openroute.com>, nanog(a)merit.edu > Subject: Re: Response from Cyber Promotions (fwd) > Mime-Version: 1.0 > > And in Interactive Week today, I see Cyber Promotions just signed a > three year deal with UUNet/Worldcom.
