Should
E-mail Still Be Free?
Dialogue: Per-message charging may be an effective way to stifle spam. But it
is anathema to most Internet users.

"The
topic of charging for e-mails is so absurd as to be unworthy of discussion. It is parallel to taking
guns away from law abiding citizens so only criminals will have them--didn't work in the UK, so why
not try it in the US?" --Rich
"Instead of fighting spam as eliminating the consequence, why not eliminate the cause. That is,
why can't ISPs [only] accept e-mail whose sender's address can be verified?" --Ahmed
"Making the selling or distribution of e-mail lists a criminal offense would probably stop 90%
of the activity. Plain and simple, if you want to stop spam, make it illegal!" --Erik Karl
Sorgatz
"Attacking spammers is like attacking the worker ants. You can stomp all you want, but you must
kill the queen. The spammers are not the problem, the problem is the companies they advertise
for....If [the spammers'] business model is not broken, the rest of the technical tricks will
fail." --Steve
