Could you expand on "zapping spammers" and [registrar name]'s proxy
product?
See http://groups.google.com/groups?q=author%3Aabuse%40domainsbyproxy.com
... A registry that re-launches with a thousand-dollar
price point (100/year, refundable for insert-circumstances), is unlikely to
be a haven for spam, assuming they actually collect before provisioning is
converted to publication. That's the most extream case in the cash-as-filter
conduct spectrum that I know of.
...
It's worthwhile to remember that the current majority of spam is not
the only kind. When the senders of other kinds finally get deploy their
congresscritters and direct enough attention from law enforcement to
stop the current flood of frauds and nonsense, the other kinds will remain.
The other kinds come from organizations that feel more comfortable
paying $1000 than $10 or $100 for services such as domain registration.
They're the Fortune 50,000 that assume that software with $150/seat
license fees must be better than software with no license fees.
Making spam more expensive can ato most shift the character of the
contents of spam. Higher costs will not end it, as demonstrated
by postal junk mail.
