you can't skip past the spammers to the people that hire them. Cut off the money supply to the spammers and dead will be the spammers.
I see it like a contract installer for a cable company. They're independent contractors hired by the cable company. If they come into your home and commit a crime, the cable company is also partially liable since the contractor is acting as their agent.
Same should be for spammers. Companies who hire advertisers should be held partially liable if those advertisers they hire to carry their message do so in an illegal manner as they are certainly profiting from it along with the spammer. Perhaps then these companies looking to market their company will do a better job at finding ethical advertisers to carry their message. |
