Let's say that Grandma picks an ISP, let's call it World, for its
friendly personal service. Spammer hacks or phishes Grandma and sends
a bunch of spam from her PC, postage of $43.27 is now due.

Who pays the postage?  Grandma?

  That is the best post about why NOT to invent a financial
  penalty I've seen.

   Now, knowing how many hackable boxen their are on the net, and
  how many bad upstream/registrars there are, how long do you think
  the truly profit oriented folks to figure out how to make money
  off this scheme and grandma?

 another John, another idea
