Habeas Spam
Now that I’m getting lots of spam with the Habeas haiku in the headers, I do vaguely remember hearing about them a while back. There was brief media attention to the idea, then they dropped out of sight. Now they come back into sight by way of spammers using their headers. In a way, they are providing a useful anti-spam service, in that I have never received anything but spam with their headers, so they serve as a “this is spam, for sure” indicator. I gather it was not supposed to work that way. The notion that people in the fraud business would be afraid of trademark lawsuits does seem a bit unlikely.
