I don't want to start an arms race with the spam callers, I want to end it. That means: jump directly to something they can't easily defeat.
It is at this point that I am reminded of the wisdom of former FTC Commissioner Orson Swindle, who was testifying before Congress on the subject of spam when he said "We need a couple of good hangings here." It was true in 2003 (which is I believe when he said it) and it's still true now. Fines, whatever they are, will be evaded and bargained down, companies will be dissolved and reconstituted, money will be laundered, and the problem will persist. ---rsk
