Hacked systems and the law

[Kurt Kessler]

When I get unsolicited snail mail, i just write in big
letters "RETURN TO SENDER". Eventually the postal
service will get sick of delivering all of this crap,
and hopefully the sender will get the idea. Once its
returned, its junk. It might only cost them 3 cents a
letter to send out, but maybe if enough people do
it...
