Aside from exceptionally egregious cases of wrongdoing, like
- child pornography, + sexually explicit material with children,
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.
+ If you screw up, people will blackhole you, flood you, or isolate you.
Spammers have been
- slapping + lapping
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 + combatants. The engine for the battle
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. + removed from my flood-list.
It is really quite simple. -Taters
