NYT on Spam Cops

yet another coward writes "The New York Times reports on new measures against spam. (Sperm sample required, sorry ladies) Microsoft has increased efforts to track and prosecute spammers. Hotmail receives 2 billion (2 * 10^9) spam messages per day. In a twist of weirdness, the Direct Marketing Association is funding investigators who cooperate with the FBI on spam investigations. Spamhaus also gets a mention."

i think it's great that the direct marketing association is assisting in these efforts. i believe not all spam is bad or malicious. but there are a lot of groups/people who give spam a bad wrap. much like the hacker culture. most of us don't commit crimes but are hackers in its truest meaning.
