Europe's Spam Ban Not Doing Much
from the not-a-legal-problem dept
Clearly, laws against spam do little to help. Many countries in Europe (and soon the whole EU) have laws that ban spam, but the spam just keeps on coming. The fact is that spammers come from all over, so they're often immune to various local laws. Even worse, is that they're nearly impossible to find. It's pretty clear that the solution to spam is going to have to be through technology (or universal enlightenment of the morons who spam, but that seems like a long shot...).
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Feel free to explain in more detail, though, because I'm probably missing your point.
