We need laws,...
<snip> I dunno,... using your list as a guide, I don't find a lot that US legislators can do... last I heard, .au, .pl, .de, .pt, .uk, .sg, .tw, .fr, .nz, and .es are all outside of the "long arm o' the law". I didn't take the time to see how many of the [IP] and .(com|net|org) entries were actually in the US or were themselves foreign, but the top 6 entries in your list would "laugh at those silly American laws". That puts the majority of spam out of the reach of the law, making the law a useless waste of time. This is definitely an area that self-governance (ORBS, MAPS, et al, choose YOUR personal favorite... "let's not argue over who killed who") is best.
