Global anti-spam suffered double crisis

    Illinois this week by the United States Anti-spam lawsuit to attract world attention : the northern region of the state court ruling at the request of British anti-spam organization Spamhaus removal from the United States mail spam database business E360Insight. and compensate for the loss of which 11.7 million U.S. dollars.

　　Initially, Spamhaus not ignore the decision and pointed out that the United States court ruling had no competence to British businesses. However, the court has decided to reach verdict on the state government. Meanwhile, a new draft resolution proposed by the state government is not subject to discussion : If Spamhaus verdict Spamhaus.org notice on the domain name registration service provider Tucows and Internet domain names and addresses management ICANN. Spamhaus removed to make the domain name, and the closure of the website Spamhaus.

　　Although the draft resolution has just been proposed, but some observers have worried that The American justice system make all out efforts to control ICANN, the Internet will have any adverse impact.

　　In fact, the draft resolution has caused uproar in the security industry.First, the well-known Democrats in the communications business and technology center CDT Director David McGuire said, If the court eventually orders the removal of ICANN domain name, then imagine it would be a terrible precedent. ICANN because the United States will become a tool for the judicial system and its own role and influence is bound to be pinned down.

　　Second, the Information Center of Princeton University, Edward Felten believe that "enforcement" of the Internet system would trigger a security crisis. ICANN according to a court decision that forced the action is very likely. He wrote in his blog. "If the United States does not belong to a court order to resume ICANN domain name to American businesses. ICANN may struggle, but because ICANN itself in the United States. So they may obey. All this is not only unfair, Internet security system and will inevitably lead to crisis. "

　　Third, the decision for the future of the anti-spam industry suffered a huge challenge, This is likely to challenge the U.S.-led companies.

They said this decision shows the abuse of power by conservative forces of the United States, Anti-Spam for foreign companies which will cause a crisis of survival.

　　To solve this problem,the domestic security forum reporters have found a lot of hot software, and we are very tense at present. Chinese manufacturers worried about the security problem in the awkward position of Anti-Spam.In fact, some of the production of factories UTM also makes some uneasy, they told reporters, Anti-Spam System in the past, there were similar disputes and even lawsuits. However, most would not have been so severe if the United States to implement the final decision, a warning not only to the internal security sector. security sector but is very likely to trigger anti-trust appeal.

    The latest news came from the United States, Spamhaus shows that the United States court ruling that the company was spam maker has "deceived" and plan to appeal, and its aim was to expose further abuse of spam maker American justice conspiracy.

　　本周美国伊利诺伊州的一起反垃圾邮件官司引起全世界瞩目：该州北部地区法院裁决，要求位于英国的反垃圾邮件组织Spamhaus从其垃圾邮件数据库中移除美国的邮件商E360Insight，并赔偿后者1170万美元的损失。

　　起初，Spamhaus并不理睬该判决，并指美国法院没有权限判决英国企业。然而，该法院已经决定把判决结果上交到州政府。同时，他们提出了一个新的决议草案交由州政府讨论：如果Spamhaus不服从判决，就通知Spamhaus.org的域名注册服务商Tucows和Internet 域名与地址管理机构ICANN，去把Spamhaus域名移除，并关闭Spamhaus的网站。

　　虽然这个决议草案刚刚被提出，但已经有观察家担心，美国司法系统竭尽全力去控制ICANN的各种努力，都将会对互联网产生坏影响。

　　事实上，该决议草案已经在安全业界引起轩然大波。首先，著名的民主与科技促进中心CDT的通信业务总监David McGuire表示，如果法院最终命令ICANN移除域名，那么可以想象这将会是一个可怕的先例，因为ICANN将成为美国司法系统的一个工具，而其本身的职责势必受到牵制与影响。

　　其次，普林斯顿大学信息中心主任Edward Felten相信，这种“强制执行”的行为将会引发互联网体制的安全危机。他认为ICANN被迫按照法院判决行动是极有可能的。他在其个人博客中写道，“假设美国法院命令ICANN去收回某个不属于美国的企业域名，ICANN可能会斗争，但因为ICANN本身在美国，因此最后可能会服从。而这一切不仅不公平，而且必将引发Internet体制上的安全危机。”

　　第三，此判决对于日后的反垃圾邮件产业造成了巨大的挑战，而这种挑战很可能是以美国公司为主导的。目前已经有大量的工程师在BBS上发帖，他们表示这种判决显示了美国本土保守势力滥用权力，而这必将对于外国反垃圾邮件公司的生存造成危机。

　　针对此问题，记者在国内的安全论坛上也发现了不少热帖，大家目前都很紧张，担心中国的安全厂商在反垃圾邮件问题中的尴尬处境。事实上，一些生产UTM的厂家目前也流露出了一些不安，他们向记者表示，在国内的反垃圾邮件系统中，以往就曾出现过类似的争论甚至是诉讼，但大多不会如此严厉，如果美国的判决最终落实，不仅对国内安全界提出了预警，而且很可能引发安全界的反垄断呼声。

　　从美国传来的最新消息显示，Spamhaus公司认为该判决显示了美国法院被垃圾邮件制造者所“蒙骗”，并且计划进行上诉，其目的就是为了揭露垃圾邮件制造者进一步滥用美国司法的阴谋。
