I often wonder how the law can be beefed up on spammers? despite the fact that they use servers from all over the world, ultimately spammers have to provide a point where money changes hands and that should surely be traceable. What I guess the issue is, is proving that they originated the spam directly or via affliliates.

All right, now they need to get the rest. Didn't MySpace participate in his arrest? I believe they did.

Remember he's being nicked for fraud not spamming.

As for tracing, pinpoint where the 'crime' took place, then you have to use that countries legal process. It's a pain in the arse but that's how the Internet grew and continues to grow, no rules, just general agreements.
