Good law could work to curtail spam. Spammers do it because it's

like hacking, there is always a way to trace back to the person who is
paying for the spam because they must be able to sell their product.
Since you can identify the individuals responsible, you can hold them
accountable with the right laws in place.

and this has worked so well with the War on Drugs.

The internet is not the street. Someone is selling a product. In order to sell a product you must be able to reach them. If you can reach them, you can find a way to deal with them legally.
