The spammers could register a domain, supply an SPF record in

the offending domains and either publishing them in standard RBL
lists or arranging for the DNS references to those domains to be
removed from the ROOT nameservers.

Which would not help much. Registering a domain does not cost more than
a condom; even if the domain is used for 1 hour and then disposed of it
does not change much the business model for the spammer.
