For this reason, we are selling our product while retaining the rights to
pursue spammers. Considering that we are based in VA, we have very tough
anti-spam laws..thanks to AOL...guess what other state is equally
tough...Washington.
I have spent a considerable amount of time educating our attorney partners.
Simple point, you spam my systems...I have a team of lawyers seeking serious
damages.
Anyone wanna do a cost break down on the bandwidth, system, storage,
administrative, attrition costs of spam?

Subject: RE: [Asrg] ASRG as a source of spam?
It is regrettable that the writer and apparently most of the
ASRG think
that the only two available options are technical and legislative. A
third, better option exists - industry self-regulation.
These people are in general outright criminals peddling schemes
that are outright criminal. This is not an 'industry'.
You do not rely on people with criminal convictions for Cocaine
trafficing and money laundering abiding by self-regulation.
The guys sending penis creams, porno adverts, money making schemes,
offers to sell hijacked software, identity theft scams etc. have
this type of connection.
The quantities of 'spam' from remotely legitimate businesses is
such a small proportion of the total that we can worry about that
after the criminal spam senders are locked up.
