well the funniest side effect of the internet i have ever seen, was the US post office trying to say they where loosing something like 30 % of their income because of email. they got some friendly representative to put out an amendment to a fed bill that would have taxed received emails ( yes received because the spammer would revolt if they had to pay ) at a rate of 5 cents an email. at the time it would have doubled how much money the post office got a year. once it made public news the out cry shut it down in one day, and it was only in the news for one day
