But we seem to be lumping all of our problems into SPAM.  What the other Users are talking about runs from SPAM to MALWARE to DOMAIN Squatting.  To combat the problems we need to be informed of the differences, because each one takes a different approach to block.  As they say knowledge is POWER. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[FYI]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 16th 2007 12:24PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Porn Spammers Get Prison Time]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/10/16/pornographic-spammers-get-5-years-in-jail/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/10/16/pornographic-spammers-get-5-years-in-jail/</guid><description><![CDATA[Start chopping their hands off and you'll see a dramatic drop in spammers .

I get between 200-300 spam messages a day. Mainly because I have had the same email address for over 10 years and through those years, the automated delivery systems that spammers use have not received bounce messages indicating that my email address is illegitimate. They run a list of names@domain.com and see what gets through...plus other stuff.

This is rediculous.  I hate spam just like the next man but DAMN! They sent someone to PRISON for 5 and 6 YEARS for it?!  There are people who have done less time for MURDER!  So what if the pictures in the e-mails they sent out were pornographic?  Is it worth taking 5 or 6 years of someones life because of it?  I think not.  Sentences for these types of things should range between 6 months to a year and should never go beyond that. We are becoming a society who will lay the hammer down immediately on spammers but will dilly dally and beat around the bush when going after people for much, much more serious crimes. What a bass ackwards society this is.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ed]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 16th 2007 12:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Porn Spammers Get Prison Time]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/10/16/pornographic-spammers-get-5-years-in-jail/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/10/16/pornographic-spammers-get-5-years-in-jail/</guid><description><![CDATA[It seems like this is the only way to stop people from spamming since fines don't send a strong enough message.

Now, question: Whose bandwidth do spammers use? Is bandwidth free? Does spam steal from employers due to lost productivity? Major spammers steal far more than $100,000. Think before you bloviate man!
