While the above point is quite true, (we live in a litigious society, however, _very_ few cases of purely technical nature ever go to trial... When I say purely techinical, I mean cases involving only hacking / spamming. Most cases tried contain other fraudulent / destructive / espionage senarios). The courts are not equipped for this sort of thing.

  Regardless, most spam is selling something. You can always find the source if you look to the people the spam is advertising for. If there was a crackdown on illegal Viagra sales by the FDA in the US, I'm sure that Viagra spam would slow.
