Looks like Lycos has got the idea:

The Register reports that Lycos Europe is distributing a screensaver
that is intended to drive traffic on a verified spam site up to very
expensive levels:

Almost the same idea as mentioned here except that the screensaver
does not hit the sites in response to received spam.

I found a Sourceforge project that just set up shop with the intent to
request images from spam sites in response to received spam. Sorry, I
lost the project info. It has just set up and has no software yet.

Looks like spammers will now be the ones going on the defensive
instead of the other way round.

This is going to get interesting ...
