My feeling in forcing them to listen is that a international agency are willing to step up and enforce fines to businesses using these spam services, the spammers won't have any client's email to send out and money will not be made. With this agency, the power to prosecute in ANY country in the world. Alternatively if there is no company associated with the spam, then the ISP will get the fines from the originated machine.

I agree wholeheartedly about stuffing them.
