Not only do I lack the expertise, but I am not in a position to get it. But I deeply respect those who are willing to name names and shame the guilty in public. KnujOn (that’s “No Junk” backwards) is an anti-spam group seeking to raise the bar of self-policing on the Internet. After an exhaustive review of registrars, they report just which ones [PDF] are protecting their criminal clients, making themselves knowing accessories to crime.
I haven’t had a chance to plow through it, and frankly I would not recognize most of the names. What I found missing is how ICANN is too darned lazy to do their job and enforce their own policies. Even an act of Congress won’t fix it. All this does if ensure we allow the Nanny State just one more excuse for taking over the Internet — or at least trying.
Thanks to Sunbelt Blog, who bring you VIPRE Anti-Virus (which I recommend highly), for pointing out this fine report.
