> Legislation is futile. The spammers will go off-shore if not already.
The only solution is a technical one that crosses political borders.
Going offshore significantly increases costs and creates a major barrier
to entry.
That depends on whether the company that runs it is offshore.
Although if it isn't, that offers no legal protections. And of
course that also assumes that the majority of U.S. spam is generated
by U.S. people. Certainly even if the spam is originating here,
people are using offshore machines (willing or not) to send spam.
And for once I can provide numbers :-).
