Um, the government has nothing to do with this: it's an action of private ISPs.

And why weren't they doing this a long time ago? "Spam support services" have long been against terms of service by responsible ISPs.

Excellent.

Maybe not so excellent. The 10% that isn't controlled by LINX is in for quite a bit of money...

The is the only way

Go after the source...the companies that hire the spammers. No company, no money. No money, no spammers.

if you read some of my posts this is the same solution for the kiddy porners, just a little variation.

track them down,one by one, beat the hell outta them, take their hardware (most spam machines make great game/ftp servers), after you get about 50 of them they should stop, if not, continue to trackdown and brutally pummel each one till it stops, or you run out of space to put their hardware (like that's going to happen)

Problem being can you really send a team into Russia to pull some servers and arrest some people? Is it wise to send in a team of US special forces to seize computers and kill kiddie porn peddlers?

Maybe, but either way it will probably cause some hostility that the US is not really willing to commit to at this time.

My point being that the internet is a GLOBAL thing, not just the US or UK. Outlaw and enforce something here and if there is enough money it will move. You cannot enforce local laws/policies/ethics/beliefs on the world.

This could be abused

Imagine if spammers started spamming links to the British equivalent of DSL Reports? Companies could pay spammers to advertise their competitors and get them shut down. This has a tremendous potential to be abused.


KILLtheseBSTRDS



Hang all of the f*ckers !!!

Every single person or company that is SPAMMING or illegally downloading SPYWARE/Malware/Adware to PC's should be beat with a baseball bat for a week, then hung by their balls for a month, then castrated with a branding iron!

The ONLY reason for SPAMMING and SPYWARE/MALWARE is $$$$$. Show these SCUMBAGS what we think of their violation of law and their illegal breaking and entering into our PCs!!!

DEATH by any means other than the above process is TOO GOOD for these B*ST*RDS !!!

I wonder, would some government be nice enough to issue us letters of marque and reprisal so that we could take these folks' equipment legally? [daydreaming about a 21st-Century version of the Spanish Main... The Spammish Main??? ]

Problem is, spam servers are all over the world, or they use open relays. You go after X10 or whoever is spamming, and the illegal spammer doesn't get hired.

UK ISP's Gang Up on Spammers

The United Kingdom needs to blacklist all IP numbers that are associated with China, Korea and Brazil. This would stop a good majority of spam going into that country.

This solution is harsh but ISP's in those three counties do harbor spam gangs along with spammers based in the United States.

It would be interesting to see some statistics on the sources of spam by nation.
