Anti-spam laws?

A recent article from the Associates Press headlined “Virginia court strikes down anti-spam law - Ruling overturns conviction of one of world's most prolific spammers”, dated September 12, 2008. For those of you that believe we’re making progress with spam by passing legislation, please don’t hold your breath. Spam will not be solved by any law enforcement means because beyond questioning the constitutionality of anti-spam laws here in the US, spam is a global problem; and the jurisdictional and evidentiary issues are so resource intensive that they will not be practical for anything but anecdotal success. Therefore, such efforts will have no significant impact on resolving the spam problem.

The CapeMax solution to spam is different. It is different in key areas such as system structure, integrity and processes, but with regard to enforcement, CapeMax would take a more practical and immediate response by holding spammers accountable through “terms of service” agreements. This is not to say that simply having different “terms of service” agreements is the solution to spam because most providers of email services have anti-spam clauses in their “terms of service”. However, what they don’t have is an effective system structure with the processes to employ objective enforcement, nor an overriding strategy to isolate spammers over time.

Is spam still a problem?

Do people care about it or has everyone decided to just accept spam as inevitable? Has everyone given up on a real solution? Current anti-spam efforts are mediocre at best and have us chasing our tail like the proverbial dog.

What if we took an entirely new approach to the spam problem?

This is what CapeMax is all about and what I've been working on for nearly 2 years. Now we're ready to share the CapeMax ideas to see what other people think. Our concept demonstrations are online along with quite a bit of supporting material. We issued our first press release late last week and we'll be working to get the word out.
