To quote a recent statement by Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos: "The United States is far and away the worst offender, accounting for nearly 60 percent of the world's spam.." The fact is that the US is no.1 for sending spam and needs to get its own house in order. Yes there are issues with litigation across national jurisdictions however there is a huge problem that the US can and must address through tough consistent anti-spam (and anti-spammer) policy. Robust laws may well send the spammers abroad, but it's the first step - right now they can relax in thier Florida homes while the money rolls in.
Let's at least start to address this issue..
