I like the idea that you can make spammers life a bit more difficult, but there should be a considerable amount of research before a site is added as a target site.. For example my operator has been on a blacklist 2 times this year because of some technical whatnot. They have added spamfilters and done preventive measures, which they should.. But if this happens again and this operator is targeted by this screensaver the results would be quite bad since it will result in even bigger problems for this operator.. And think about if this screensaver could be reset by some nasty piece of code to do this same thing on "microsoft.xxx" or some other site. And maybe even do it with 10x normal traffic.. |

Except that in this instance, your not going after their brother or sister, but the culprit, or culprits. And yeah, you damn well better believe it, if the authorities could not or would not bring them to justice, then going after them by ANY means necessary is fine by me. |

The screensavers dbase is manually checked-by people who go the the sites advertized in the spam-so unless your advertizing with spam, i wouldn't worry. |

If the law offers no prohibition toward an attack on me, it can not offer a prohibition on me defending myself. |

"As long as spam is illegal and most everyone hates it"
Unfortunately, if everybody hated spam, nobody would ever respond to it, and there would be no point in sending it, but clearly, legions of idiots click the links and buy things and make it all worth while for the spammers.
If everybody just ignored it, it would go away! |
