1 edit | Re: Charging for spam splits legit vs illegit spam I agree, this just makes AOL technically an indirect spammer. By taking payoffs to allow spamming, it pretty much means that AOL is doing business with these so called 'companies'. This does nothing to curtail spam, but more or less just has them pay toll.
Let's do some rough math on this...
Use a number like 10 million subs hit at $0.0025/message = $25,0000. I'm sure that both sides will look for loop holes to charge/save money (i.e. AOL internal disctribution lists count as one sub). Also, how do you charge an off shore spammer ? |
