IANAL, but it appears that law is against the ISP. The ISP can not limit/block remote interception(spyware/keyloggers/packet sniffing)...So I'm pretty sure the consumer can still have a secure connection to a server. The ISP isn't limiting what little they know about that particular connection. Otherwise bye-bye to any e-commerce sites for Argentina.
It should be illegal because it doesn't just annoy consumers...It annoys corporations.
From This link: In 2003, spam cost U.S. businesses more than $10 billion in productivity loss, according to some studies. Other research shows that U.S. enterprises spend an average of $49 per e-mail user per year to handle the extra load imposed by spam.
Though a biased source, I'm sure it has some legitimacy. And if you fuck with the U.S. economy(in a bad way), you should pay.
And that is exactly what is happening. Google is indexing what it thinks is the original(scammer), and discarding the temporary(victim).
Google visits scammer.com
scammer.com says "hey, I'm really the original URL, but somethings wrong, and I want you to use my mirror"
Google goes to victim.com downloads cache of victim.com, and says "OK, victim.com is the TEMPORARY URL, so I'll just cache it under scammer.com, and delete victim.com from my index"
now I search for a term, and discover the info from victim.com, I click the link, and it goes to scammer.com. Now it knows I'm not google, so it doesn't throw my browser a 302 to victim.com.
This would only be true if each individual torrent maxed out your connection. In many cases it does not, and wouldn't cause much(if any) slowdown on other torrents.
Or if the government wants you to charge sales tax. Skymall(the catalog on the airplane) has 1 office in Phoenix, AZ. However since their main source of advertising is through the airlines, the taxman considers every airline a sister company, and forces Skymall to charge tax for every state. Skymall's lawyers fought this time and time again, but it was never overturned.
Or instead of sending it to/dev/null, simply forward it to the customer services email address of the site you signed up for. So every time a spammer sends email to example@yourdomain.com, it gets forwarded to customerservice@example.com Give them a taste of their own damn medicine.
Why not use a pre-existing standard robots.txt.
If google can cache a site that does not have a robots.txt then/. should be able to.
As long as they put up some sort of disclaimer like google does it should be fine. But they should cache it, keep it on the server, and check if the server the page is on is down every so often. Once it goes down, automatically use their cache to display the page.

It also appears every IE security flaw/exploit is frontpage /. news. So why isn't this a frontpage story?
Imagine a beowulf cluster of these...
Yeah, but does it run linux?...
etc...etc....
You're not in the right train of thought.
Here, this will help you: Bzzzzzzzztt oi! oi! oi!
Why the hell would you spell out FAT SHIT, when you could just as easily spell out EAT SHIT with the same numbers?
Though interesting, I believe they will need a state to find you. I'm fairly sure there's at least 4 states that have the same plate number.

IANAL either, but the following is in their TOS:
You may only post Content that you created or which the owner of the Content has given you.
So I'd say you're dead on.

have difficulty reading "50-150 four-seven foot diameter balloons" Try this: 50 to 150 4' by 7' diameter balloons.
Ummm....that's exactly how every other p2p works(gnutella, gnutella2, kazaa, edonkey etc), and doesn't get the advantage of the idea of bittorrent.
I can't even read 100 digits in 30 seconds.

Wooohooo, I'm gonna be the next Alienware.
I'm gonna buy $1500 worth of computer parts, wrap some cheap plastic courtesy of this company, and resell it for $3000!
