I went to a talk by linda franklin on hacking and law enforcement. She made
the point in a very concise form:
You can increase the effectivness of the dollars you spend on prevention
with a small amount of deterrence through law enforcement.

America Online, Inc. (NYSE: AOL), as part of its ongoing,
comprehensive battle against spammers, today announced a sweeping
series of lawsuits against individuals and companies that it alleges
have repeatedly sent members high volumes of unwanted junk emails
using a variety of evasive means to circumvent AOL's spam filters.
AOL is filing five separate lawsuits against over a dozen companies
and individuals, who the Company alleges are together responsible for
sending an estimated one billion spam emails to AOL members and
generating over 8 million individual spam complaints from members.
The latest lawsuits filed by AOL are the first to leverage the
complaints received by AOL from its members who are using the popular
"Report Spam" button in AOL 8.0.
