Reporting to the FTC doesn't do much for "real" spam - I'd expect
even less for something from government, but it makes a point. Also,
Evan is in California (very near me), so if he gives or sells email access
to anyone else he has a case from civil trespass under California Law (though
IANAL).
Who can count the number of CAN-SPAM Act cases the FTC has brought?
Some state attorney generals have, but the FTC? Now I know from experience
that the California Attorney General's office will accept a report, then
6 to 9 months later send you a follow-up letter asking of the matter has
been resolved yet - never seen anything else from them (and even that is
only for cases where you can provide 100s or 1000s or spam samples, smaller
numbers are just ignored).
