Spammers steal bandwidth now by using offshore misconfigured mail servers and relays. They hide the origin of their spammage. They claim to comply with bills which were never passed into law. They lie about removal lists and how their spew is "double opt-in".
If they can spew for free, why would they sudddenly turn "honest" and start paying for the bandwidth they use? What's to stop them from continuing to use the broken servers they are using now?
I am opposed to any measures which might connote any legitimacy to spam.
