Make Love Not Spam - Screensaver

Lycos recently released an interesting screensaver called Make Love Not Spam or MLNS. Essentially it's a coordinated denial of service attack against known spam servers. Well, it's not exactly a denial of service attack, but it is meant to drive up the cost of spammers hosting to astronomical levels, thus making it prohibitively expensive to send spam. Normally a true denial of service attack is against the law as it is meant to shut down the targeted site... and if you plan to download the software inside the US you will have to lie about where you're from on the download site; but since the software doesn't actually send overwhelming amounts of traffic to the spam servers it is only floating in a grey area of legality while trying nobly to accomplish a greater goal.

Personally I give Lycos props for having the guts to release something like this to the public. If you're into using a tactic like this to bring what I consider an evil business to it's knees, please download and use this software.
