Legislation is futile. The spammers will go off-shore if not already.
The only solution is a technical one that crosses political borders.





Going offshore significantly increases costs and creates a major barrier
to entry.





Using offshore contractors -- or USian contractors with offshore
sending hosts -- to send your spam, however, does not.   And that's
already the case in many of the big spamhaus cases (e.g. Alan Ralsky).




Ralsky is inside US jurisdiction, right?



It would be particularly difficult to craft legislation that _didn't_ 
cover everyone involved in a spam, whether the spammer itself, or the 
spammed-for person or...  If only by invoking "conspiracy to commit"...
