It would be my opinion that any legislation broad enough to cover everyone
even with 'conspiracy to commit' would then be struck down as unconstitutional
by the U.S. supreme Court just like COPA just died
You're thinking way too complicated...
If you pay someone to commit a crime, then you're guilty of that crime too.
If spamming US citizens is a crime, then the person in the US who paid
the, say, Taiwanese bulker, to spam US citizens, is guilty of it too.
Given that something like 80% of spam is flogging US-based services in
one way or another, that's a huge bite.
