Fighting The Spammers Down Under

An Anonymous Coward writes: "The Sydney Morning Herald is running an interesting article about fighting spammers. It mentions that "Most of today's email spam, however, comes from a handful of culprits, described by Barry and others as &quotknown criminals&quot." Does anybody else wonder who these people are, and what are the odds of having them shut down for good?"

If they are "known criminals", why are they such a problem? or is that to say that the spam itself makes them known?

maybe the police are the "known criminals"

and we all know which europeans were originally sent down under
