RE: Unplugging spamming PCs

Hi John,
  I'm not taking it to extremes. I'm talking about the middle of
the road, and certainly spam is the on the top of the scales on
everyone's statistics. I'm certainly not condoning or suggesting that
the government control everything, and I'm not for absolutely no
government involvement either. A balanced approach is most appropriate
just as with anything.... there also can be regional registries similar
to how ARIN is setup that allow inter-continental and inter-country
registration. Unless someone can come up with a better idea, I see no
other choice. FYI, we do already license IP's, through ARIN, APNIC, etc
so that's already been done :slight_smile:

No. As much as I hate spam... it's not on the top of the list of things to
fix.

If the ARIN, APNIC, RIPE, LANIC, etc registries are so upto date and accurate, why would you need to license anything at layer 4 or above? You've already got the contact details for people responsible for routing packets to those devices.
