I sent this to Habeas Technical Support. But I think I'll get a better
response on this mailing list. This seems like an obvious idea. There must
be something wrong with it. But what?
Here is a technical suggestion. I think your business plan works by using
legal action against violators of your copyrighted haiku. But it is
technically easy for spammers to include the habeas watermark and hard for
you to find and prosecute them. The recent flood of habeas marked drug
spam is an example of this.
Why not change the equation in your favor? You can act as a clearing
house for public/private key paris. When people sign up with you and get
a license, they also get a private key for use in signing their email.
You make the corresponding public keys available over the network.
Antispam software verifies the signatures against the keys you provide.
If you find a key is abused you not only go after the abuser legally, but
also withdraw the public key from your database so signatures made with
the corresponding private key can no longer be verified.
There it is. Pretty easy to implement and I think it will add value to
your business plan by making your certification more trustworthy in the
short run as well as the long run.
