Wired News: Cash Cow or Spam Sow?
Whenever something sounds too good to be true, that's because it is. A spam company (in actions, if not in name) will pay to use your computer to send out spam, so that it doesn't get cut off itself. Nice of them. The soober spam becomes seen as a problem activity and not a legitimate business one, the better. How can such unwarranted intrusion into the privacy of a mailbox be anything other than an intrisuion into my rights to use the internet free from harrasement?
