Spam Now Legal In The US
Spam Now Legal In The US
12/16/2003 01:47 PMAs expected, President Bush
signed the so-called "CAN SPAM" bill into law today,
effectively legalizing spam. What the law does is make sure that
anyone now has the right to spam you legitimately, so long as they
provide contact information and a way to opt-out. This means, the
floodgates will open as all those out-of-work telemarketers now have a
new job: spamming you. Wasn't the law supposed to stop spam? Well,
the one anti-spam idea in the bill is that it bans people from faking
headers for the sake of spamming - which would make a difference if
spammers actually cared about the law. They've shown already that
they're not too concerned, and thanks to their ability to fake headers
and route their spam through many different computers, it will be very
difficult to track them down. So, now we'll be getting much more
"legitimate" spam, and just as much, if not more, fraudulent spam.
Why is this a good law again?

Legal Issues Facing Spam, Popups And
Spyware
01/03/2005 06:04 AMIt appears that politicians are increasingly paying attention to
internet "evils" along the lines of spyware, spam and popups. In all
cases, these are instances where the openness of the network has been
abused, creating certain problems. However, it's not clear that any
of these legislative solutions are likely to do any good. We already
pointed out how
ineffec
tive CAN SPAM has been, but a few interesting things happened over
the weekend in the areas of popups and spyware. First, a Utah court
ruled that
pop up
ads were not covered by an anti-spam law in that state. The law
in question is no longer in effect, so it doesn't really matter -- but
it does suggest that the idea of using "unsolicited" email legislation
against other forms of "unsolicited" advertising is unlikely to get
very far. The news that's getting the most attention, however, is
California's decision to
pass
anti-spyware legislation that would give out fines for spyware
purveyors. The
text of the actual law is worth
reading, as it's clear that a fair amount of thought went into it.
However, it's not entirely clear it will do much to stop spyware.
First, the sneakiest forms of spyware have been very careful to hide
who is really responsible for the products -- meaning, they're likely
to successfully remain hidden from any lawsuits. The just slightly
more legitimate adware variant of spyware, on the other hand, has
always been more about social engineering than any
technical
trickery. That is, they bury the permissions in a ton of language so
that no one is really sure what they're agreeing to. Assuming this
continues, these firms will be able to claim that they presented the
end user with a choice, and those end users agreed to move ahead with
the installation.

05/24/2004 05:37 PMThe latest study on spam trends appears to show that
financial spam is outpacing pharmaceutical spam
- though, honestly, so much of both is coming out that it's really
hard to imagine that this matters at all. Meanwhile, it seems that
porn spam is increasingly less interesting to spammers as the numbers
have been on a noticeable decline for quite some time. No matter
what, though, it appears that CAN-SPAM has done absolutely nothing to
slow down the amount of spam sent.

03/11/2003 09:43 AM Well gosh, best of
luck with the viral marketing thing there, Dr Pepper/Seven Up
(DPSU). I think if I were handed the problem of how to get word out
about ‘extreme milk’ that’s the road I’d take.
It just feels right.
Here in the land of cheese-eating surrender monkeys (last week the
Chirac government issued mandatory t-shirts carrying the slogan
‘anti-American, PoMo, MultiCulti and mocking your fat
ass’) they’ve been selling nuked milk for years – in
fact it’s hard to find any fresh stuff past the aisles of
hideous, plasticky milk in cardboard boxes at room temperature, with
expiry dates generations away, owing to all that mad cow business.
Oh, wait…

Still No Cure for Cancer, But At Least

01/09/2004 09:58 PMHey! Where's the problem?: A
heart-warming story here out of the Dallas area.
...a 13-year-old boy at Richland Middle School in Richland
Hills was suspended for three days in December because he sent that
simple message ["Hey!"] to every computer in the school using an
archaic form of instant messaging. The software was created years ago
in the old disk operating system used in earlier versions of personal
computers.
Carl Grimmer's father taught him how to send messages through
network computers as part of a tutorial on how DOS
worked.
Thank God they caught that little Mitnick
wanna-be. You gotta stay on top of this stuff, lest you get
sidetracked by vastly more important things.

(and they have brought into ill repute what was once a term of
respect) are lazy. But I think they're too lazy even to do a spot of
reverse-engineering. All they need to do is to read the Microsoft
Knowledgebase article detailing the extent and cause of the
vulnerability to help them create an exploit by adapting someone
else's real hacking work.

taking pictures of the layers and giving beautiful prints of their
