        When this story got posted to Slashdot someone claimed that since the law is clamping down spam would end because "there was no money in it."

        Spam is going to have to be incredibly unprofitable before we see an end to it. There are people in every third world country who would be happy to make $1000 a month, let alone $200,000.

        I don't think the law should have ever gotten involved unless actually scamming is going on. Tax payer money shouldn't go toward AOL's losses. Of course we get those class action lawsuits where they "victims" get $20 a pop and the lawyers walk away with $10 million in their pockets.

        No easy answer...

              Considering how much bandwidth 50K a month in the US would buy you, I'm wondering which countries you guys who think he should have gone offshore are thinking of that would have equivalent bandwidth for comparable pricing.


              50K a month, 1.5 gig bit in the US?

              Where can you get a 1.5 gig low latency connection offshore for 50K? I'm curious.
