NYT on Spam Cops

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the game-is-on dept.

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."

    You really shouldn't assume that someone is downloading illegal stuff just because they are posting anonymously.
