Worse yet, even in cases of clear criminal violations (eg relay rape,
forgery, scams, death threats), it goes unprosecuted -- even when its
trivial to track down the offenders.
And you would not BELIEVE the effort it takes to get the US military to
close their open relays (not to mention close their smurf amps and shut
down their rooted boxes).
Fully half the fault and responsibility for the current state of affairs
lies with providers who are unwilling to take any action to shut down well
known spammers and abusers.
