Will Netcom get the "death penalty"?
Sometime Monday night, users of Netcom, an international Internet service
provider, may find their postings to Usenet newsgroups going nowhere.
The service is facing a sanction known as a Usenet death penalty for
allowing its users to post thousands of duplicate messages to newsgroups,
one of many forms of spam. If the death penalty is enacted, it would be the
second major service provider punished. UUNET Technologies suffered a
similar action over the summer.
On Friday, it seemed Netcom would avoid the death penalty
but on Monday, the sentence was carried out.
