1) Is there convincing argument or real evidence that spammers are colossal frauds? I've often suspected this myself, but it'd be nice to be able to confirm these suspicions.
2) Sorry for the wording, I wasn't trying to imply that at all. I should have said "neither the companies nor their consumers would find it acceptable to pay extra for the shipping".
Moving offshore will only work to some extent. If laws can be created that allow you to go after the companies who pay the spammers to spam, and we manage to stop the the local companies from paying for spam to be sent, then the only people left are offshore sales companies. But they really don't want to pay for international shipping for a few bottles of viagra, so spam should diminish a fair bit at that point.

But really, I'm just joking!
