I am in no way an advocate of spam, but I think there are some serious 
issues with how spam is being fought, especially in this case.  The 
concept that you can be charged in a jurisdiction because the data went 
through a machine there is wrong.  It would be like charging a winery 
because the truck with their shipment went through a dry county.
