The connection between webspam and zombies
Some vocal webspammers have claimed recently that webspam isn’t illegal.
It’s true that there are no laws that spell it out per se. But that doesn’t mean it’s legal.
Laws are struggling to keep up with our technological world, and it’s quite common for older laws to be stretched by presedence to encompass newer crimes.
And there are laws that could (and probably will be) be used against techniques often used by webspammers.
I’ve been thinking about this for some time, and meant to blog on it. And maybe I have mentioned it before too, here and there.
