Submission + - Spammers Hijacking IP Space? You be the judge 3
Ron Guilmette writes: "As Reported in this
Washington Post story a substantial hunk of IP address
space appears to have been taken over by notorious mass e-mailing company
Media Breakaway, LLC,
formerly known as OptInRealBig, via means that are at best questionable.
The block in question is the
134.17.0.0/16 IP address block, which I investigated in depth in
this
independent investigation.
(Apparently, the President of Media Breakaway has now admitted to the
Washington Post that his company has been occupying and using the
134.17.0.0/16 block and that front company
JKS Media which
provides routing to the block is actually owned by Media Breakaway.)
Remarkably, the President of Media Breakaway... who happens to be an attorney... is trying to defend his company's apparent snatching of this block based upon his own rather novel and legalistic argument that ARIN doesn't have ``jurisdiction'' over any IP address space that was handed out before ARIN was formed. Get the popcorn ready! This is bound to be entertaining."

Other researchers have historically shied way from this controversial method because they don't "want to mess with other peoples' PCs by injecting commands," said one botnet expert quoted in the article.

Which is technically completely accurate but nonetheless for all practical intents and purposes the kind of utterly useless solution that is so completely off this world only geeks can come up with. Not to mention that it is not comparable to WordPerfect's split-screen reveal codes functionality at all.
