I think you missed the concept of a feedback loop: I meant negative feedback, of course, in the form of cost liabilities to the companies that use spammers.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10952339 Tue, 03 Aug 2004 14:20:25 EDT Re: Just goes to prove... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10952307 jap :

I disagree. The spammers operate in other countries where we can't "go after" them but the money is from the good ol' USA. Reduce demand is the only way to remove unpleasantries from a free market system - and in this case that means making it illegal to hire someone to represent your company/product in an invasive fashion and give end-users civil recourse to the person who paid for the spam. Spammers are merely doing the bidding of their bosses.

You advocate a "war on drugs" type enforcement where we go after the growers & couriers. It never, never works because where there is demand the marketplace *will* provide.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10952307 Tue, 03 Aug 2004 14:15:38 EDT Re: Just goes to prove... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10952109 Jigsaw :

It's time to stop focusing on the spam-contractors and go straight to those who hire them.

These losers only understand one thing: money - So until there's a monetary feedback loop they'll continue to find ways to abuse the openess of the internet by exporting their costs onto other businesses (in this case Google) and individuals (the hijacked machines blackmarket, b'logs, mail servers).

They are even willing to use someone's personal blog's to advertise their products. I think if one sees this in their blog they should be able to charge the company whos product is advertised an exorbant rate for having it there. Then maybe some of these companies will think twice about hiring spammers to promote their products.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10951540 Tue, 03 Aug 2004 12:41:22 EDT
