the point is that spamming would stop pretty much immediatly. some
targeted advertising would stay, but at a cost of, say, 1 cent per mail
and a return quota of 0.01%, what used to be a pretty comfortable
income from sending out 1 mio. spam mails is suddenly a one-off shot
right into bancruptcy.
to fight spam, you have to destroy the spam business model. only thing
that works.
