I used to think that email spam was a law enforcement problem too, but it's become very clear that law enforcement 
has little to no interest in solving geeks' problems.

Law enforcement deals with legal entities (persons, organizations) and jurisdictions (i.e. physical locations) in 
determining both applicable law and appropriate enforcement authority. 

The Internet does not provide reliable attribution of entity or locale, thus precluding any efficient use of our 
existing law enforcement framework – it is no surprise that our Internet design choices have such consequences.
