Infamous RBN quits China

I did wonder 

Happy

i wondered how long China would tolerate Russian spammers.

I'm getting less than a third of the spam I was until a week or so ago. Too early to be sure, but perhaps the tide has finally turned.

Perhaps someone should tell the RIAA etc., that there's a whole bunch of torrents "hosted" on the RBN servers. I look forward to the day when child pornographers are hunted down with the same zeal as file sharing sites.

IP ranges 

why did they got those Chinese IP ranges in the first place... and then ban them???

to Chinese officials could have left RBN free to disseminate the Internet equivalent of lead and date rape drug laden toys. Suprising that someone calling themselves a "Business Network" wasn't aware of how to conduct business in the country next door.

Bulletproof hosting that isn't 

What's more, the people behind RBN aren't bulletproof, either. Eventually they'll step on the wrong toes, and then it's time for sleeping with the fishes.

Which is really too good for kiddie porn purveyors, but prolonged torture requires dedicating much more time than those scum are worth.
