Re: Why spam is a problem.

This is where spam laws would have to deviate from the existing junk fax
laws. While the latter targets the senders, the former would have to
target the beneficiary. EG, if the spam comes from Russia but the
beneficiary is stateside, the beneficiary should get penalized based on
that fact alone. [yes this is US-centric, substitute accordingly]
...

As all of us who have gone go court with a TCPA action know, that
is wrong.  You generally file against the advertiser instead of
the fax blaster.
