And The Answer Is...?
No argument with anything you've said, alien, and you're probably right that it won't solve the problem...but what WILL solve the problem?

We already know that legislation doesn't work; you can't force people to act responsibly. We have more laws than ever, and we have more crime than ever. Some laws are better than no laws, but political laws don't solve anything -- they just manage and institutionalize the problems. Coercion begets more coercion.

Besides, even if you could get most nations to pass legislation against spamming, all it would take would be one country that didn't, and they would play host to all the "spambags" (nice term for them, BTW).

So, if you have a solution, I'd sure like to hear it.
