Jail for Selling Email Lists to Spammers
amigoro writes "UK will start jailing the people who trade in email addresses, or any other personal data. The current Data Protection Act only fines people who do that, but the money one can make from trading in personal information was far higher than the measly GBP 5000 one had to pay if caught. The new regulations will result in a two year prison sentence for violating the Act."
I couldn't agree more. We need to seperate the bad from the good, permanently.
That's why I am all for the death penalty. Kill the fuckers, then see how much of a nuisance they are.
I think we already spend to much time & money thinking about crime. People who take advantage of our society as a whole should be removed from society, in the most permanent fashion possible. Yes, I am aware of the consequences of this kind of thinking. At the same time, I can see daily the consequences of the opposite viewpoint - millions blown on overcrowded prisons, which achieve nothing but making better criminals, who are shortly released and commit an even more offensive crime. Or worse, 'white-collar' prisoners serving a slap-on-the-wrist style sentence that for all intents and purposes has no overall effect on their lives besides being indisposed for a few months. As soon as they're out, they go right back to the mansion & money that their crime probably paid for.
As for your idea of 'public humiliation' - I think if they were afraid of this, they would not have started spamming.
Until we have a foolproof way of brainwashing the sociopathic bastards into some semblance of common decency, we will be unable to stop their behavior.
So, kill 'em. Or I just thought of a possible alternative - castrate them so they can't breed.
Bye-bye, karma!
Don't use the Troll mod just because you disagree with me.
...when are we going to start jailing and executing homosexuals in this country? Homosexuals (gays, lesbians, faggots, queers, etc.) are garbage that needs to be dealt with.
