It's FOUR YEARS since the US passed their "You CAN spam" 'law'. Spam levels have constantly increased ever since then, without so much as a hiccup. They are now about 5 times higher than they were at the end of 2003 (according to Spam Cop's graphs). Wouldn't it be nice if the American authorites actually enforced that 'law' in a serious way? Or if the FBI's "Operation Bot Roast" actually put some of the bot-herders behind bars where they belong? Obviously it's not going to happen. American spammers rule the internet.
