Every Man a Cyber Crook
Mark Rasch, 2002-01-07

Federal anti-hacking law permits cybercrime victims to sue their attackers. So why is that software companies, webmasters and computer makers are the ones being hauled into court?

they buy them by the millions by a host of sleasy dick heads out to make a buck.

There are zillions of open gateways (most in China and Korea) which allow spammers free raign to harrass as many people as they can.

They are almost impossible to catch, and ISP's don't want to be involved, and only a few cooperate. It sucks really.

Thats why I'm working on technical ways to just eliminate it all together.

Email: crunch@webcrunchers.com for more info.

Also, check out "Spamcop" they are doing a good service if you want to join the movement to elminate spam.
