LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - If the adult Internet's ship has one stubborn family of barnacles clinging to its hull, it's the porn spam family. "Let me say it loud and clear," says Joseph Obenberger, a Chicago attorney whose clients include players in the adult Internet and other entertainment. "I think the people who are spamming, and obnoxiously spamming [adult material], are urinating in the well that all of us drink from."

If they think the law isn't paying them closer attention than they might normally pay adult entertainment, on and offline, they should be advised that the Arkansas House of Representatives has a new bill making the rounds - to force the porn spammers to include warnings, be traceable to commercial distributors, and include a sender's name, correct street address, and source computer identification number.

And that isn't as far as the law might be looking, either. "What they may not know," said Parry Aftab, executive director of WiredSafety.org, and a veteran activist for children's safety online, "is that federal regulators are now going to be spending a good deal of time and expertise to stop porn spam. Already, the Justice Department and FBI have been instructed to do something with this."

Good lord, would it not be a wonderful world if the spammers had the fucking boom lowered on them?

Oh mamma.... I would love that day.
