(And yes, I know that in the first case, it urges the customer to cough up the bucks, and in the second case, it's usually not a revenue generator)It's a dichotomy that is... unexplainable for me personally.
Nope: it's easy to explain; you merely have to be a cynical bastard: Attack traffic takes up bandwidth. Providers sell bandwidth. It *is in their commercial best interest (read: maximizing shareholder value) *NOT* to filter out DOS, DDOS, and spam traffic until their hand is forced -- it's actually their fiduciary duty not to. *THIS* is the problem we have to fix.
