| The Idea
The principal of the matter is to make them see what it feels like to have something done unto them that hurts their pockets or makes their internet experience a drag. It's not about sinking to their level in any way, it's about teaching them the the value of spam-free internet, and the ethics/moral behind such a day. If they are unwilling to learn then they must be taught by force, after all Treat others the way you expect to be treated, and when you get down to it there not treating you that well, right?

| The only persons hurt here are the ISP's and the ISP's users. Spammers are use to this. They just open new accounts all the time. Tiny cost of doing business. There are still thousands of places to setup shop. I operate an ISP and we have customers who create accounts, and nothing happens for months on end, all of a sudden, it's our turn. This silent customer comes alive and begins their rath. We kill that account within hours, but the black lash of bullshit from vigilantism goes on for days and days. BTW: these guys signup for business accounts, they explain they will run a mail server in their offices and want direct access to port 25. Should we turn away anyone needing access to port 25?
PS: The other thing going around here is computer viruses that relay messages. There are tons of stupid computer users and many of them are connected to their office LANs. Try disconnecting one of your largest accounts because they have one stupid user. By the logic I read here, it's OK to take down an office network or their ISP, because they had a virus on their computer. |

| You have to put up with the vigilante wrath for days?
This is the reason to obtain a copy of customers driver's licence or other ID and verify customer's address. If a server on your network is attacked because it is hosting spamvertised content, you can then sue the customer for damages and maybe anonymously releasing the customer's doc's. |
