I think heads should roll over this. I think its the worst act a
corporation has ever undertaken in the history of the internet. So speaketh n3td3v, prohpet, visionary, lord and leader of Full Disclosure. The Internet has always been about vigilante justice. Aside from exceptionally egregious cases of wrongdoing, like child pornography, fraud, or flagrant piracy, the Internet exists and operates beyond the boundaries of any one nation's laws. It is up to the people to self regulate. We have tried politely reasoning with spammers, we have tried ignoring spammers, we have tried _suing_ spammers. We've leisurely worked our way down the tree and are well past any sort of rational recourse. Now people are willing to resort to brute retaliation. When you sign on to the Internet, you accept this implicitly, to some degree or another. Spammers have been slapping us in the face for too long, and now the Internet reacts and fights back. Everyone who downloaded that screensaver did so intentionally, this wasn't a trojan operating behind the scenes. The participants were willing combatants, the engine happened to come from Lycos this time, but there have been other efforts in the past as well. And if the spammers don't like my packets being sent to their system, all they have to do is send me a polite e-mail asking to be removed. It is really quite simple. -Taters _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.netsys.com/full-disclosure-charter.html
