Definitions Endless
Yes, but not in a helpful way.. The whole concept of these "resources" is fruitless and will not bring us anywhere. Let's see the definition posted so far: (1) Resource Any Internet Resource which means: 1) what is "recursive"? Answer: see 1) The posted suggestion of "abuse" currently does not even fit for the case where several (more than two) "resources" are involved. If a spam-email is received - what is the resource beeing abused? (the definiion speaks of "one") The Zombie-Bot sending the email? The credentials used for sending? The mailserver used for sending? The upstream providers involved? The brand which was phished? The receiver who reads (or reads not) the mail? The Mailprovider giving storage? The abuse-team which might investigate? And so on.. In the end it is "humans" who are abused; the provider can act only if that kind of abuse is then somehow published in its AUPs. So they should contain some broad terms which might be interpreted by a reasonable abuse department. At least a violation of the local laws should be included, so that a contract can be cancelled or other actions be taken. And yes, if there are new forms of misuse (abuse) not covered by the AUPs, then the AUPs have to be changed. In the end, all anti-abuse decisions must be that good that the could stand a trial; If sending spam is allowed in a country/at a provider then it is hard to take countermeasures. So..suggestion: abuse somehow is the violation of local laws and AUPs of the involved providers. (Someone might want to finalize that in correct english) We might come here to a majority decision; I don't want to argue on Andre`s resources again..
