Re: Why spam is a problem.2002-08-13 17:43:06The main path will be that bulk mail will be taxed at about $0.10 per target with stiff criminal penalties for evading the tax. The money will be split evently between the taxing bureaucracy and ISPs in the name of "fighting terrorism," "closing the digital divide," and "for the kids." That will end the whack-a-mole spammers and leave the field open to the Fortune 200,000 and anyone else who wants to hire a DMA member. in other words, such laws would just make spam a mainstream activity.
