But isn't that a good thing? FTC regulates *trade*, not Internet traffic, and I would like to see it stay that way.

No matter how much we detest spam, it's part of the larger freedoms that make up the Internet. We can't get rid of spam 
without sacrificing some of these freedoms. We can deal with spam ourselves. Indeed, it's government interference (such 
as lawsuits against the likes of SpamHaus) that's in our way.
