Война со спамом
Jun. 12th, 2007 10:31 amВсё идет по плану:
NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Adam Vitale, 26, pleaded guilty in federal court in Manhattan to breaking anti-spam laws. He was caught making a deal with a government informant that sent spam e-mails advertising a computer security program in return for 50 percent of the product's profits, prosecutors said.
Vitale will be sentenced on September 13 when he faces a maximum sentence of 11 years in prison.

Spam (unlike marijuana or downloaded music or pirated software) is generated by very small number of people and businesses. Thus, IMO, "war on spam" has no chance to create wave of bad side effects like war on drugs does.

Ну и наконец рассылка спама не является пока преступной только потому что и законы и технология не поспевают за жизнью. А по сути дела - это типичный trespassing :) Violators should be shot. Survivors should be shot again.
