However, I would say that I'd pay for concerts of a lot of bands. People like BNL, Dave Matthews, etc. that throw some of the best live shows on earth would be worth it.

many people are not aware bands like Dave Matthews Band have an open taping policy. while not soundboard, many audience recordings are really close. many tapers spend $5000-6000 dollars in equipment and acheive pristine copies of the concerts. access to the shows has become even easier thanks to an amalgamation between archive.org and etree.org, we now have the etree.org audio archive .

these files are distributed in the lossless SHN format so each copy will sound the same no matter which generation of the disc you have.

Dave Matthews Band no longer allows distribution through etree.org audio archive , but using trades and B&Ps you could easily find a high quality DMB show for free.

Check out the etree newbie FAQ and the etree trader database for more info.

Washington state has had a law similar to this for quite a while now.

As a WA state resident who has put themselves ont he list, I can say it doesn't work worth a cr*p. How do you enforce it. When was the last time you got a piece of spam with a legitimate sender's address on it? It's just not worth the trouble to track them all down.

Sign me up for the war, want revenge for this, feel free to advise.

If you are in states with so-called "anti-spam" laws, you can start taking legal action against spammers. Check out:

Sorry for the Washington-heavy links; it's my home state.

Washington State's Anti-Spam law says that if you receive spam with either altered headers or misleading subject lines, you can hit the spammer with a suit for $500 per occurrance, whether or not the spammer is located in Washington State.

Since the ISPs are apparently collaborating knowingly, should they be held accountable somehow?
