Should there be more laws against spamming?

Asked by holden (8450points) November 24th, 2009

I ask this in light of the recent sentencing of Alan Ralsky, the self proclaimed “King of Spam,” to 51 months of jailtime. Ralsky was involved in fraud and money laundering and sent over 70 million spam mesages a day from fake names.

Should there be more laws against spamming? Additionally, should the government be more proactive about catching and prosecuting these people?
