Federal Bounty on Spammers
Portigui writes "CNN is reporting that the FTC is considering imposing a bounty on spammers. They are guessing it would take between $100,000 to $250,000 to get people to rat out their friends, coworkers, etc... Interstingly enough is that it is 'higher than rewards in most high-profile criminal and terrorism cases. For example, the FBI pays $50,000 for tips leading to the arrests of most of its top 10 fugitives.'"

Holy shit, spammers have loyal friends. I'd rat 'em out for a happy meal.
...to buy a dictionary and learn how to spell 'screwed' properly. :)
"People" using "unnecessary" quotes should be "shot".
Perhaps you should send out an email to all potentially interested parties. "Send $20 and watch spam disappear from your computer!"

You know what?
Does this mean I can rat out my coworkers who insist on forwarding jokes with their whole addressbook in the TO: field AND GET PAID FOR IT?!
#include <sig.h>
and I would buy rocks and a fake beard from vendors at any public stonings of a spammer.
Slashdot has editors?
My beliefs do not require that you agree with them.
From many comics: Wanted Dead or Alive, preferably Dead
For example, the FBI pays $50,000 for tips leading to the arrests of most of its top 10 fugitives.""
Yow! $50,000! Alright, I know just how to get that money, right after the 21st!
A feeling of having made the same mistake before: Deja Foobar
Is there any evidence that spammers have co-workers or friends (who are not themselves also spammers)?
You Forgot:
As I wade through dup'd Articles
Will noone stop the Duped Url's
And-a you, where did you go editors?
And no one can stop you now
Yes-a, I, oh a we.....we're gonna get you, oh Taco
Not gonna subscribe no more
'Cause you ignore, the duped Url's
So hey yea yea yeah
And when we warn you,
You'll ignore our emails, Emails about Duped URL's
So we're left to pay to read our duped Slashdot
While the profits you just don't share
Yes-a, we, oh we're gonna get you, oh Taco
Nothing will make us renew now
'Cause we're still seeing Duped Url's

CowboyNeal had a first post on this story!
But you know that already!

This is correct. Another way of looking at this is that spammers take let's say 1 minute per day of time to deal with. They take it from 100,000,000 people. In one year, they have taken 36e9 minutes from others. A human lifetime is approximately 40,000,000 minutes long. So they have wasted 1000 lifetimes per year. They ARE mass murderers! (Or worse, the imprison people their entire lives!)
while (sig==sig) sig=!sig;
Now, is that just for the pelt, or do I have to bring in the whole spammer?
This is not my sandwich.
The next Slashdot story will be ready soon, but subscribers can beat the rush and pay to see yesterday's stories again!
