I now have free long distance and VOIP in my house. I can use my
computer to dial out to the world, and, so long as someone is in the US,
I can automatically dial their number as many times as I wish. Other
people can do the same thing, I bet, and would not have a big problem
with sharing their lines for use in an automated calling system
dedicated to calling telemarketers.
Now, the technical details of such a system would be tough but not
prohbitive for a spare time project. Essentially, all we need to do is
put together something like sub7 (but without the self-replication) that
would be installed on everyone's PCs. We would set up an IRC chat room
which could issue dialing instructions. Machines would wait for the
signal, then, boom, go after the phone systems of the guys trying to
sell me long distance at 6 AM. Massive DDOS using the phone lines, it
would work and no one would be prepared, they would know how annoying
they are. Similar to the spam the spammer campaigns on /..

Well shoot, if the FTC doesn't have the authority and the FCC
does, what
if the FTC just gives the database to the FCC. That's all it is
probably
- one huge Access mdb file. ;)

District court in Oklahoma blocks the FTC's list, which was to
