Fight Spam

***URL REMOVED***

The whole time this page is running on your machine you are stealing bandwidth from these web sites.
Once an offending web site shows an error 509 (Bandwidth Limit Exceeded), this tool will be updated ...
Pass this address on to your friends the more people that have this page open the better..
Let's get rid of this damn sites.. Maybe for good?

Interesting. Maybe we should start DDoSing SPAM domains.

even if the goal is noble, it's worth pointing out this quote from their own FAQ:
Quote:
Q: Is this illegal? A: Well technically yea.. It's taking bandwidth from other sites.. But look at it this way.. Is SCAM/SPAM legal??
That are the rules of the game, if you like them, play the game, if you don't - don't play

I dont think you are really stealing their bandwidth, if anything by posting that link here you are helping them make money from 1) The per 1000 ad impressions displayed billing method, and 2) from increasing their ranking in google by linking to the site.

Or maybe i've missed something?

What is the purpose of spam besides advertising?
