I've had a hard time finding discussions like this from people who have actually tried to link privacy with global communication. I would easily pay a subscription fee to read papers and ask questions from people who have worked on P2P networks, email providers, PGP alternatives, etc... Good Privacy & Free, Open Communication seem like two things we just can't seem to reconcile.

The ultimate takeaway is that abuse is the price you pay for anonymity--the more you give leeway for people to be jerks with minimal repercussions, the more jerks will take advantage of it. Reputation analysis for email drove down the anonymity (in the sense that email service providers have a much greater stake in policing their users to prevent abuse), and it remains the single most effective anti-spam strategy.
