Millions 10/31/2003 11:44 AM
Beck writes "Maybe women don't want to be seen visiting the adult book store in the red light district, but they're flocking to adult web sites. According to Nielsen NetRatings, nearly one in three visitors to adult web sites is a woman. The news article goes on to describe how some women think it is healthy and normal, and others think it can lead to problems. In any case it appears to be a common misperception that it is only men who visit pornographic web sites. There are a few interesting anecdotes in the article, including one where the editors of Today's Christian Woman magazine found in a survey that 34 percent of their readers had intentionally visited porn sites."

The 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.

I am now getting 2,000+ spams a day. There are 1,440 minutes in a day The rate of incoming spams is therefore getting close to the interval it takes me to check my email and dispose of a single spam: By the time I'm done checking, more spam has arrived. That is the point at which the spam droplets form a continuous stream. And that is the point at which no interval of my life will ever be spam-free again....

Today at 2005 International CES, Microsoft Corp. announced broad, additional support for the PlaysForSure™ logo program - both for devices and upcoming services. In addition to many portable music players that are PlaysForSure-verified, there are now new televisions and DVD players designed for PlaysForSure compatibility that feature built-in connections to wireless or wired home networks for the easy playback of photos, as well as subscription-based music and video via a Windows® XP-based PC. At CES 2005, D-Link Systems Inc. and Digitrex debuted connected high-definition (HD) TVs, HD displays and DVD players designed to be part of the PlaysForSure logo program, and Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. demonstrated a concept plasma display. In addition, a range of new color-screen, mini-hard-drive portable devices supporting both music and photos are designed to be PlaysForSure-verified, including the Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox, iriver H10 and the Samsung YH-925 and YH-820. First announced at Microsoft's Digital Entertainment Anywhere launch event in October, the PlaysForSure logo is designed to help consumers with Windows XP-based PCs choose devices and online music and video stores that work together, taking the guesswork out of compatibility.

Spammer Complies With CAN-SPAM, Claims
ISPs Should Not Filter His Spam 05/20/2004 07:05 PM
Ronnie Scelson is one of the shortlist of spammers who just seems to love publicity. While many spammers like to hide away, Scelson's always willing to talk. He testified before the Senate Commerce Committee today, claiming that he is now compl ying with CAN-SPAM, but threatened to ignore the law if not enough of his spam messages were getting through filters. He actually has the audacity to complain that now that CAN-SPAM is in effect, ISPs should be required to let his mail through. Maybe the filters are a little to thick around his head and the message isn't getting through to him: the reason his spam is filtered is because people don't want it.

California Spam Law: Won't Stop Spam,
Will Make It Harder To Do Business

California Spam Law: Won't Stop Spam,
Will Make It Harder To Do Business 11/03/2003 11:40 PM
I get inundated with more and more spam every day, and it's frustrating as anything. I want it to stop. However, if politicians insist on passing bad legislation in their attempts to stop spam, that's not going to do any good. I've already complained about the new California legislation and it looks like I'm not alone. A guy who runs a consulting firm and writes for Business Week points out why California's anti-spam law won't do a thing about spam, but will make life more difficult for legitimate small businesses. He describes a situation where he did a very targeted mailing for a company. It's probably up to your definition of spam as to whether or not you consider his mailing spam. I tend to draw the line on whether or not the mailing was "bulk" - which it sounds like his was. I believe that if the email is truly targeted and personalized about a potential business relationship, then it's hard to call it spam. The California law disagrees. In fact, the sponsor of the bill claims that any email contact between two companies is not legitimate if it hasn't been initiated under some other form. That's simply ridiculous. As I've said before, plenty of "commercial" websites contact Techdirt every day about the possibility of partnerships or links. Under California's anti-spam law, I could charge them with spam. I recently heard from a major technology magazine, asking if I would add them to my Quicklinks box. Should I sue them for spam? According to the law, I could.

CAN SPAM Designed To Make Congressmen
Look Good - Not Stop Spam

CAN SPAM Designed To Make Congressmen
Look Good - Not Stop Spam 01/07/2004 06:36 PM
We all know now that the CAN SPAM law is a disaster and is unlikely to do anything useful in the battle against spam. It's also becoming clear that the entire point of the bill was never to stop spam, but to make a few folks in Congress look good (which seems to be the entire point of most politics these days). First, Business Week spends some time comparing the mostly effective federal "Do Not Call" list with CAN SPAM. The DNC list was planned out carefully by the FTC and the FCC, and, while it upset many telemarketers, it was designed in a way to be effective. There was also enough time, and enough publicity given to the list that people knew about it and had the opportunity to sign up for it - while marketers had the ability to prepare on their end as well. With CAN SPAM, however, it was rushed through Congress with little thought towards whether or not it would actually do anything and without any money to actually deal with any of these cases. Meanwhile, the NY Times reports that the sponsors of the bill asked the FTC to sue a spammer the very first week the bill was in effect in order to make a big "splash" so they could pat themselves on the back - even as the spam levels continued to increase. FTC Chair Timothy Muris (who has spoken out against this spam law) apparently laughed them off and pointed out it was impossible to do such a thing. First of all, in order to violate the law, the spammers have to ignore an opt-out request. Then, the FTC would have to track down who the actual spammer was - with no additional funds, because the law didn't provide for them.

AOL Falls In Love With The Wrong Spam
Stats -- Says Spam Decreased 12/27/2004 01:32 PM
AOL is claiming that their new spam filter has greatly reduced spam, creating nice looking headlines about less spam. Of course, you could question their findings. The details show that what was reduced was spam complaints. This might be a proxy for the amount of spam that got through to inboxes, or it might just show that AOL subscribers have wised up and realized that reporting spam to AOL doesn't seem to do a bit of good -- and they've just given up on it.
