Back when the Americans introduced their "You CAN Spam" 'law', it was predicted that this worthless piece of legislation would need to be proved absolutely useless, to make them introduce a real law to control the sleazy parasites of the internet: American spammers. Well it's been well and truly proved worthless in these last two US spam-flooded years, but nothing has happened and obviously isn't going to happen. I suppose that was entirely predictable. After all, US spammers are only following the American rule: get as rich as you can as fast as you can, no matter who you hurt or what damage it causes.
