AOL: Pay for your email, but it's not against SPAM or phishing

This time, I'm lost. After announcing its intent to apply postage fees to email messages in order to allow them an easy way through its servers , one of AOL officers jsut announced in front of a legislative commission that the intent had nothing to do with stopping SPAM or phishing attacks (where a swindler goes fishing for private electronic data).

To me, this looks a lot like a pull-back in front of negative feedback. Or, I'm just lost.

Art and SPAM working together

I do not want to suggest that artists are spamming their way to fame (even if some famous French houses used SPAM to a large extent), but rather that Adam Harvey, a 24-year-old interactive designer based in New York, decided to take inspiration from the easy business of sex on the Internet while doing one of his most recent works.

300,000 and still counting at SpamAnti.net

As you already know, I keep the totality of all SPAM mails I receive (as evidence). They are stored in a nice little archive.

Little is not the word. It's depressingly big: I just went over 300 000 messages.

Still counting...
