If that were true, the people who make Rolex watches and print CDROMs
software or DVDs with movies would have no hope fighting offshore
pirates. In fact, contrary to the hoary old chestnut about
legistation
being useless because of offshore spam, laws including trade
agreements
and sanctions are reasonably effective. They don't and can't stop
all spam, knock-off Rolexes, or pirate CDROMS or DVDs, but they can
stop enough of it to be worthwhile.
The only cases where trade agreements are likely to have no effect
is places like Nigeria where the government is either ineffective
or bought off.
But US spam senders are unlikely to uproot themselves and go to
places where there is no effective government. If they tried the
bribes that they would have to pay to operate would quickly erase
their profits.
Just think how easy it would be to switch IP addresses to launder
your connection in a country where the power only works 4 days out
of 5.
