Part of the solution: laws that workPart of the solution: laws that workPosted May 6, 2004 11:30 UTC (Thu) by copsewood (subscriber, #199)In reply to: Part of the solution: laws that work by dwheeler Parent article: 82% of email is spam Forging paper mail sent out using someone else's address is rightly considered a criminal act of deception. The same should apply in the email world. Spammers would be less willing to do this if they faced jail time when caught. Suitable laws should also making those whose products are advertised in this manner criminal associates and conspirators. It would be easier to trace spammers if those obtaining advertising services in this manner could only avoid jail time by actively assisting the authorities in tracing those sending out this stuff. Blacklisting and blocking can become much more effective when spammers have to use their own domains and give valid return addresses.
