"... throw spammers in prison..." I just heard that on Air America Radio |
|
Anybody know about this? Unfortunately I only heard the sentence fragment above. I tried a couple of search engines and various boolean operations using words like, "spam, spammer, legislation, bill" etc. but found nothing.
:shrug:

2. It's the only reason I can think of where the death penalty is appropriate |
|
OMG - dozens of spam email messages per day, spam posts on my hobby sites, phone rings nonstops from 9AM to 9 PM. Is there no rest for the weary?

I've got most of it blocked out, but a few have gotten in recently. Time to update the server. ;)

I guess Alberto Gonzales is too busy cooking pro-torture tortas for his Master Bushler.

4. No death penalty for spammers. |
|
Reserve the ultimate penalty for the phishers.
I get a dozen phishing attempts a week, or more. And that's just the ones that get through SpamAssassin, Vorpul's Razor, Pyzor, and black list on my e-mail server. I pity the poor fools who don't have all that technology.

I'd advocate punishing them with big fines ($10,000+). Personally I think big fines would hurt worse than a couple years in prison.

13. They have to personally apologize |
|
To every person that their spam went to. Knock on the door, sorry madam/sir, I'm responsible for 3,000 of the spams that have clogged your email the last 2 years.
How many doors do you think a spammer would make it to? Wouldn't you like the opportunity to just throttle one of these idjits!!

18. If we were going to punish people |
|
then I'd go after the fuckers who put spyware, malware, trojans, and viruses, above the spammers, I must admit though I DON'T LIKE SPAM.
