Hello,
my opinion on legislation:
Receiving spam and stealing time is the same. Every country wants to preserve
its right to steal time of citizens on
one or another matter and even if the citizen was right eventually on that
matter, the stolen time is not reimbursed.
In the EU, the member states (executive, legislative and judicative) establish
a body (agency), that collects penalties
from spammers and it is assumed, that this body protects sufficiently the
natural and juridical persons from spam. This
means, when the executive/judicative receives spam, it handles the case to that
body, the agency collects penalities
from the spammers and the collected money is used for anti-spam measures.
This means, that the governments protect theirselves sufficiently from spam, by
collecting money from the spammers and
using that money to buy anti-spam software, but pretend at the same time, that
anti-spam software is not necessary to be
sufficiently protected from spam and stolen time costs no money.
Outrage against society.

Spam-carried malware and phishing attacks continue to do real
damage including leading identity theft.
In an odd way, all of that mostly-effective filtering has the
side effect that there isn't enough spam getting through: the
only way to actually stop the arms race is to treat spamming as
a seriously anti-social activity and spammers as criminals and
parts of criminal enterprises.
I tend to phrase it as "We're not going to get rid of e-mail spam until
the solution involves a horse, a rope, and a high branch...."
One problem is that a lot of the spammers are in jurisdictions that
remind me of a Monty Python skit:
Vercotti: (....) and one evening in walks Dinsdale with a couple of big lads,
one of whom was carrying a tactical nuclear missile. They said I had bought
one
of their fruit machines and would I pay for it.
2nd Interviewer: How much did they want?
Vercotti: They wanted three quarters of a million pounds.
2nd Interviewer: Why didn't you call the police?
Vercotti: Well I had noticed that the lad with the thermonuclear device was
the
chief constable for the area.
