  Exactly.

I fear that LMAP doesn't address the problem. Why so?
Who can prevent spammers from stealing credit cards and
registering thousands of domains to use in their spamming
business?

  Law enforcement.  Theft of credit cards isn't an issue we can solve
in the network.

  Right now, much of spammers behaviour is already illegal.  LMAP
makes it more likely for them to engage in more illegal behaviour.
This makes them easier to catch, and gives law enforcement more
inducement to catch them.

  It also gives registrars more inducement to do sanity checking on
registration, if large percentages of registrations are found to be
fraudulent & criminal.
