Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The economic approach to spam is to establish a price for commercial e-mail, such as charging a fee for each e-mail sent, to deter spammers from sending unwanted messages. This is based on the idea that individuals respond to incentives, and if there is a cost associated with sending spam, spammers will be less likely to do so.
