I seem to remember that excessive port scanning was one of the issues that
was litigated in the new Zealand ORBS cases.
Mark's Response:
'GIEIS' would not be involved in excessive port scanning. Also, 'GIEIS'
role one be one of protection not agression which no court would rule
against. A further consideration, is the fact that a country can only make
laws for that which falls within its territorial claim. Therefore, they
cannot prosecute scans coming not coming from within their country.
I tried to read the GIEIS paper and I cannot understand what the proposal
is, what it is trying to achieve or what the prospect of a reduction in
spam
as a result would be.
Mark's Response:
The document assumes a knowlege in broad networking skills. In short, the
system secures email transmission by independently confirming sender and
recipient. It eliminates completely the abitily to setup an email server
and begin sending spam across the internet by changing how email is
transmitted across the Internet. Any such attempt at sending spam from
'non-GIEIS registered' accounts would result in the destruction of all
emails sent to those protected by 'GIEIS'.
'GIEIS' then has technical features to enable to limit any form of spam from
'GIEIS Compliant' accounts. 'GIEIS' would remove 98%-99& of all spam and
virus' on the Internet. The rest would fade due to the difficulty of
tranmission. 'GIEIS' also removes 'bot spam' from Instant messengers.
Statements that 'intellectual copyright' is reserved do not lend
confidence,
I am not aware of any such concept in US or international copyright law.
Copyright protects the embodiment of an idea, never the idea itself. Even
the EU doctrine of moral right of the author does not cover this.

Mark's Response:
I am also outlining processes and methods that puts it in a slightly
different legal catagory.
