Andre,
Is praiseworthy your efforts as was the effort by Denis in this
group.
Sometimes I have the impression that you guys are giving punch in knife tip
or barking up the wrong tree.
The current discussion seems to seek answers at the semantic. And the
idealization of the concepts and definitions begin to collide with the use of a
language that is not native to all, as well remembered by Gunther Nitzsche in
his last intervention.
You are one step closer to doing what Gunther's ancestor did in the century
XIX discussing On the Genealogy of Morality (F. Nietzsche) beginning to
investigate the root of a single word: the word abuse. What is its genesis? And
more importantly, what are the conditions of its genesis? Will discuss in the
light of the uses and customs of the present age but there will no
consensus.
Anyway, I'll put the ball on the ground and try to give my definition of
abuse in the most practical way possible, with my English.
CAUSE AND EFFECT
First remember that I am not an IT professional and I have no concern with
possible abuses that ISPs, Registrars and RIRs may suffer. They have
professionals and tools to care for themselves. What matters are the billion
people on the planet victims of abuse as never before happened. Today the
barbarian hordes do not invade the villages with their horses. They remain
comfortable and cowardly sitting in front their keyboards stealing and angering
millions of people every day - and properly protected and hidden under the cloak
of pernicious "protect service". Today barbarians have a new name: coward
psychopaths.
DEFINITION AND SOLUTION
There is nothing more dispensable than the definition of abuse. It is
explicit in all AUPs, TOSs and ASPs that govern all contracts between these
companies and their customers.
Nothing is easier to implement than a solution to end the abuse. I have the
perfect recipe: a dose of shame, a dose of honesty, a drop of ethics and a spray
jet in the nose with Syntocinon to replace the Oxytocin that the hypothalamus of
psychopaths do not produce - empathy.
In other words, providers just need to put into practice what their AUPs,
TOSs and ASPs, abundantly displayed on their websites, contractually
determines.
Losses and damage from such abuse are solely the responsibility of those
companies.
REGULATION AND MODUS OPERANDI
If a victim denounces, with evidence, a customer of an ISP, the ISP must
contact and warn his customer. If this victim denounce for a second time the
same client, the ISP is obliged to penalize his client. In the third complaint
ceases to be abuse to be a crime. Here it is characterized conspiracy to the
practice of crime. And that is the psychotic posture, dishonest and greedy of
most ISPs. No matter if we are denouncing a spammer or scammer. And by insisting
on the complaint, copying to various institutions and to the media, the
retaliation will be inexorable.
Every crime is an abuse but neither all abuse is a crime.
PROGNOSIS
Nothing will be done. The status quo shall prevail.
