   spam laws

   First law passed, OK, it's a piece of crap. Time to start working on the second piece of law. That won't fix it, either, but it may help. Then it's time to start working on the third piece of law. That should be the one that returns the right of individuals to go after the spammers.
   
   Think, "Bounty Hunters."

   Cyber Terrorism

   Why don't we put the government anti-terrorist zealots to good use, and define spam as cyber terrorism? After all, the loss in productivity from spam is probably greater (when taken as a whole) than any worm or virus could cause. Thus, spam puts a large drain on our economy and on the tech industry in particular, as IT is then unable to make workers as efficient as it otherwise might, reducing ROI. Foreign nations that refuse to cooperate in shutting down spam operations could be sanctioned for harboring terrorists. At least it would get our government off our backs and harrassing some one else, and maybe they could do some good.
