Lessig On Bounties For Spamhunters

Posted by timothy on from the pay-pal dept.

An anonymous reader submits: "Digital rights (as in yours, not the RIAA's) guru Lawrence Lessig comes up with a Swiftian idea of how to fight spammers -- $10,000 for the first ubergeek to hunt the offender down. The column is at CIO Insight. Wonder if it'll reach its audience there."

    Lessig's a heck of a guy and a darned good fella to have on the side of the angels, but someone ought to let him know that beginning an address or article with any variation on "$DICTIONARY defines $TERM as $DEFINITION" is considered (and rightly so) to be oratorically weak. It's the dishrag introduction.

    Go forth, eloquent slashdotters, and purge this offense from your own pulpit-poundings.
