Re: Domain registration process needs revamping
said by Dogfather  :They'll get around it while causing many headaches and delays for legit users and ask any doorman at a bar or business owner if fake IDs and gov't docs are rare. As a business owner I can tell you they're certainly not. Fake ID's everywhere. Around here $200 will get you a SS card and $1200 will get you a passport. |

said by Dogfather :That would be like gun control. It would only hamper legit users while malware goons will find an easy way around it. I don't think there would be an easy way around it. They could find some ways, but it would raise the bar significantly. There are bogus drivers licenses and passports, but they are relatively very few now with the toughened identity provisions. And even if they got a bogus domain thru, it would become easier to track down those obtaining bogus credentials.

First and foremost is hold advertisers financially liable for how their products are advertised. At least for minimally legit business they'll think twice before hiring spammers. Second, make antivirus/antimalware software standard with operating systems. Hopefully much of this will be curtailed when Microsoft makes One-Care free, hopefully including it in Windows 7 as part of a default installation (while having the option to kill it for those who want something else). While products like AVG Free are certainly available, unless included as part of a default install, they're not as effective due to ignorant users. |
