Internet Sometimes they see the light...

Techdirt: Major Spam ISP Kicks Off Spammers All of this is correct - the "former employee" is on the Spam-L list I'm on and he published the internal memos to the list as well as his whistleblower site. He also worked with Spamhaus' Steve Linford who talked with the Savvis CEO and explained the consequences of hosting spammers, ie., being shut off from the rest of the internet.

So sometimes it does work, sometimes the bad guys who give spammers access to sent out spam can see the light and understand that while the short term money from the spammers looks very nice, the long term money from legitimate customers will disappear because of blocking and then the spammers will disappear too because they're blocked as well. And poof, no more company.
