By rasing the 'bar' of initial expenditure verus return we could
eliminate a significant porportion of Internet fraud. 'GIEIS' will
employ this technique as well as others.
But how do we accomplish this without eliminating all free enterprise on
the Internet, where anyone with access can establish themselves as a
meaningful entity, rather than turning the Internet into what exists now
in broadcast television, where viewers are wholly passive entities with
no direct influence on the medium?
The bottom line is that requiring business registration creates a much
higher hurdle for starting new online businesses, and this is
unacceptable, seeing what the existing freedom on the Internet has given
the world aside from spam.
I have only proposed registering SMTP servers. The extra cost would be on
the order of $200 per year. If you can't afford that, use somebody else's
SMTP server, as most people already do. This is not a significant barrier
to entry.
