Curing Spam: Rights, Signals & Screens

Author

Listed:
  • Van Alstyne Marshall W.

Abstract

Recognizing spam as a pollution problem points to a market-based approach that could be more effective than prior approaches based on technology or law. Marshall Van Alstyne argues that an imperfect market could create more value than even a hypothetical "perfect" filter.
