This arrest is all well and good, but the spam keeps coming. I wonder why that is [highly loaded question]? ;-)I think the obvious answer here is because spam is too profitable. Arrest someone and there is a lineup of people waiting to take his or her place. The only way to really solve the spam problem is to figure out a way to remove the financial gain involved in it.
Right. Throwing people in jail for the rest of their lives is one way to reduce profitability. And less I sound like I'm being sarcastic, sending someone away for a decade for compromising 500,000 home machine is probably about right. (As opposed to, say, calling someone on the phone and tricking them into sending their source code.) LE just needs to pick up the pace a little.
