Anti-Spam Laws Sound Nice, But Won't Do
Much 12/09/2003 02:31 PM
The press is going spam crazy now that Congress has finally agreed on a single spam bill, which will soon be signed into law by the President. However, the people who actually understand the spam problem are slamming this law, and a new UK anti-spam law, both of which will do little, if anything, to stop spam. In some cases, both laws can be seen to legalize certain forms of spam - which will be exploited as a loophole by just about every spammer with at least a few functioning brain cells. As the article points out, both laws are great if you believe that spammers are law-abiding, honest people. Otherwise, they're terrible. However, with all the talk (good and bad) about these spam laws, how come no one is asking how we're going to measure the success or failure of these laws? Everyone just assumes that they'll work (or they won't). Shouldn't we have a built in way to check up on the results six months from now and (more importantly) shouldn't there be a plan B in the likely event that these laws do nothing to slow the spam problem down?

Weak Spam Laws Plus No Enforcement
Equals Waste Of Time

Weak Spam Laws Plus No Enforcement
Equals Waste Of Time 04/16/2004 11:32 AM
Over in the UK, where they passed their own weak anti-spam law last year (saying it was okay to spam businesses) it turns out things are worse than they seem - as the law is only window dressing for a year or more. The authorities charged with enforcing the law are saying they don't have the necessary resources to actually enforce the law, and probably won't get around to do anything until next year. So, spammers in the UK have just been given notice to... keep on spamming.

Finance Spam Passing Drug Spam While
Porn Spam Is Washed Up 05/24/2004 05:37 PM
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.

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....
