End Spam by criminalizing the purchase of their products?

im not a spammer in the true sense. I use netsend to spam. and ive already defended myself on this before. I totally tell recievers how to block netsends. I dont clog your boxes with email (as you like to claim/exagerate )


I defend it because its a legitamate form of advertising. And the only reason your against it, is because the BIG guys have told you to be against it. Spam is a threat to there money-making. One guy and a program can now reach millions for free, instead of paying millions to reach maybe 100 people on TV or Radio.

I'm going to ask Slowwhand to make a good ol' fashioned Texas noose . . . . .

Bull****. If John Q doesnt have to pay to send emails to his girlfriend, why should Joehasaproduct2sell?

Because I don't bloody want to receive spams, therefore I should not be forced to pay fot them.

Do you want me to send you several hundread MB worth of stuff to blow up your inbox?

I think the law should turn a blind eye to those that decide to "retaliate". Hack into a spammers computer or network, and fdisk them back to the 70's.

That's what I feel like sometimes, but I have so far been successful in reining in my urge to strike back.

The best way to do is to block all the open relays after a grace period of, say, one month, and black hole all other known spam servers.

Allowing retaliation is probably the best idea. We need to get spammers to piss off Al Qaeda. Once a couple of spammer's houses mysteriously explode into fireballs, the remaining ones ought to get scared.

I havent

Spiffor, you drag them behind a horse drawn carriage in the streets of london, then you hang them, cut them down when still alive and conscious, cut off their genitals, and rip out bowels/intestines and burn them in front of them, and then cut them into four pieces, sticking their head on a pike.

Know you nothing of torture?

Yeah. The enemy of my enemy is my friend

You know, forget the War on Drugs and the War on Terror, we need a War on Spam!

Boris, my plan would be to set up a sting operation.

What does this mean? How would you do this without doing an unconstitutional invasion of privacy? Surely you're not advocating entrapment?

New Law:

All spammers and people whom buy their products must have htier genetalia removed without the use of any anti-pain medications or tranquilizers.
Except me, of course.

Quick off-off-topic question:

What exactly is entrapment?

[Boris Godunov]

It's when a law enforcement officer induces or persuades someone to commit a crime they would not ordinarily have commited.

[Urban Ranger]

That's hard to show.

[Dom Pedro II]

Why don't we instead round up all the people who buy unsolicited products, merge them with the people who buy that crap off infomercials and gather them in the town square for public humiliation...

You could charge admission and extra to hit them in the face with pies... but just pointing and laughing is free.

I think it would be big!

Then, there are these things called filters and a good ISP I have one, perhaps you should too. Rarely do I get it. And when I do, theres this 'delete' button that comes in handy :P

Go for it. But see above

"because joehasproducts2sell is a f@$#ing spammer, and should be tarred, feathered, and hanged."

These this is what saddens me. The enormous amount of threat used when discussing this topic. Same old, Same old. Ya'll are a bunch of whores. Just a bit of common sense and 10 minutes of download time would prevent you from getting any spam.

Its all a mute point. Spam will never be illegal or it will never be stopped in the general sense. So stop wasting your time talking about it.

I make 100$ a month off spamming . Thats 50 more than a couple months ago.
