 Brilliant IDEA !

Follow the damn money trail ! Go after the company whoring themselves out in spam. If they are not from the US then leave their respective country to deal with them.

Fine the company, if it's found to not have payed for the advertisements then go after the next link in the chain. You cut off the money to these spam spewing idiots and they will stop spending money on this nonsense.

Yeah I mean it's not like they could control software from another country... [/end sarc]

Unless they are actually proven to steal personal information this has absolutely no business entering the criminal arena which jail time would require. If you want to pursue this then why not your isp and search engines for routinely selling your browsing habits to the highest bidder largely for a pittance.

This just reaffirms the judicial system still has no idea what to do with the internet.

Exactly my point.

These clowns get involved in stuff they don't know. It's amazing how dumb this crap is.
