I agree with Kee. The prospective recovery from suits against spammers
is not high enough to make suits worthwhile--not only because the
penalties are too low, but also because many individual spammers are
judgment proof.
Remember to distinguish between civil and criminal proceedings. Few
spammers are "judgement proof" against incarceration.
In some cases, rather than inventing new laws or other "entirely new"
procedures, just moving the bar a bit can be helpful.
Ie: as state-specific anti-spam legislation isn't all that helpful, a
national one helps to shift the balance and make critical mass in
dealing with specific spammers easier to achieve.
This is not a fight with a "single solution", but needs moving forward
on many different fronts - some technical, some socio-legal.
