Yes, Sean - they are. But it is far, far more productive for the
source of this abuse to be choked off. Call it the difference between
using mosquito repellant and draining a huge pool of stagnant water
just outside your home.
Do we really want ISPs to become the enforcers for every Internet
application someone may use or abuse? Webmail, online game cheating, blog
complaints, auctions disputes, instant message harrasment, music sharing,
online gambling, etc.
Imagining you are going to stop drug dealers by removing public pay
phones isn't addressing the real source of the problem.
