Lessig Wagers Job Over Spam Solution
posted by mpawlo on Tuesday January 07, @07:41AM
from the mailto-lessig-at-po-box-dot-com dept.
News scubacuda writes "In response to Philip Jacob's analysis of RBLs, Larry Lessig (according to his blog) is "putting his job where his mouth is". Lessig writes, "So (a) if a law like the one I propose is passed on a national level, and (b) it does not substantially reduce the level of spam, then (c) I will resign my job. I get to decide whether (a) is true; Declan [McCullagh] can decide whether (b) is true. If (a) and (b) are both true, then I’ll do (c) at the end of the following academic year." (Declan accepted) A lot of interesting comments to this proposal on Lessig's blog and /. (My bias: Lessig's "bounty on spammers" proposal is a great start; it just needs some minor tweaking.)"
