I have examined VOIP-related crimes, and I have come to the conclusion they did not happen. If they did happen, a sane policy would be in place. (I have come to similar conclusions regarding Bin Laden, we never expelled any Pakistani diplomats) When you ship alcohol, many states require showing ID proving the recipient is of legal age. When you order an OVH server, they require ID. For Chinamen, they require a deposit. http://spitfirelist.com/news/school-shootings-are-technologically-obsolete/ Klinger said that Internet-based orga­ni­za­tions charged the equiv­a­lent of $50 in bit­coins to cre­ate a bomb scare using auto­mated phone calls, which account for 13 per­cent of all threats, according to her school secu­rity research. http://dailycaller.com/2017/06/03/bernie-backers-say-wasserman-schultz-inter... Defendants are very concerned that this was a ‘spoofing’ incident, whereby a caller unaffiliated with the Congresswoman or her office, used one of any number of means to place a call that would appear, on the recipient’s caller ID, to be coming from that office. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/12/cuban-telephone-fraud... Well... to summarize this link concisely, basically international VOIP companies are violating common carrier rules and are spoofing recipient numbers with voice readings of books. Now there is of course another possibility. The police enjoy investigating things they can't solve, they have too many resources. Erm. Now if they spend this much time investigating things that they can't solve, couldn't they take a step further and petition their representatives to make their jobs easier? Clearly VOIP-related crimes did not happen. Is it so hard to code it so that if you call a number, you end up with "The number you have dialed is registered with a service that is prohibited from operating an interstate VOIP service in the United States." The illegality of some VOIP activities, I mean, there's nothing comparable to that of other common carriers. A congresswoman was the victim of a VOIP-related crime. No one has written a law. What will it take for anyone to notice anything wrong?
