I really dunno what the problem is with Spam, to be honest and reading the “let’s play god” comments above, people should remember who pays for the internet, ISP’s are paid to host your signal nothing more, industry is what supports the Internet and I think that a way round would be is to licence advertisers in the same way people can buy a domain, too many complaints, lose the licence and ability to send emails en masse.

It wouldnt take much to work up a plugin for the email clients and it would make peoples live easir if they can choose to turn off unlicensed emails that are not considered personal or official.

Takes the pain and crime out of it all and leaves the spammers to spam themselves as no-one else will read it

I’m not about causing spammers’ computers to be destroyed. If I wanted to knock out spammer’s networks, there would be no spam networks. I’m only about giving them a tast of their own crap. In all fairness, I believe that Virgina’s Spam law is unconstitutional. 9 years in prison for sending spam is excessive punishment. Crapping on a spammer’s website is fair game though.

By the way, if the RIAA came up with a method to destroy computers and used it against me, I would make sure the RIAA’s computers got the same treatment.

I’m with you in that i receive a lot of spam, but that is no less dirty an idea than the RIAA’s pet bill which would have allowed them to remotely destroy your computer if they received evidence you were downloading.
