Despite legislative prohibition and anti-spam technical measures proposed by the internet service providers and specialists, the growth of spam continues incessantly.

Spam control, thus, also involves in the debate of the norm in cyberspace. A model of access control is adopted to analyze spam regulation with the existing transmission protocol and spillover phenomenon. This article defines spam regulation as blocked information exchanges, and discusses which parties carry the responsibility for providing the information necessary for that blocking. As Lessig and Resnick point out that no one actor, at the outset, may possess all of that information. After analyzing these options, a better strategy is multi-approached, for the most part of market-oriented measures. This article concludes that by encouraging regulation designation to adopt a combination of the intermediary and sender's responsibility, the regulator can achieve greater certainty at minimal cost, while maximizing the flow of information in the present architecture. |
