It just wouldn't stop a lot of the overseas spam.
But the law could be crafted in such a way that it is illegal to _initiate_ as well as to actually transmit the broadcasting of spam. i.e. the principal organising and running the spamming business, to say nothing of the advertiser, as well as the poor peon who actually sends the messages, are the ones who offend and are thus all legally liable. Extradition treaties? With the USA? Probably not. But we could nab them if they came here for some reason. -- Sincerely etc., Christopher Sawtell
