A problem with spam is not only aren't you likely to get caught, it's not even generally agreed to be illegal.
Worse yet, even in cases of clear criminal violations (eg relay rape, forgery, scams, death threats), it goes unprosecuted -- even when its trivial to track down the offenders. And you would not BELIEVE the effort it takes to get the US military to close their open relays (not to mention close their smurf amps and shut down their rooted boxes). Fully half the fault and responsibility for the current state of affairs lies with providers who are unwilling to take any action to shut down well known spammers and abusers. -Dan -- [-] Omae no subete no kichi wa ore no mono da.
