All it takes is a handful, and the rest will get the message. These guys
are selling a product, they gotta be able to be contacted somehow.

The net effect is that they will be so driven underground to avoid capture
that the cost of doing business, and their ability to do business, will be
greatly diminished.

An interesting example of spam I got today has no domain name, just an IP
address (to avoid having to register). You go to their website, and there
is a form for you to fill out with your name, address, etc. These fools
can still be found. Just fill in the form, wait for them to contact you,
pretend to be a customer, gain their trust, get an address, arrest,
prosecute, fine, throw in jail, butt-rape, done.
