What if, rather than imposing all kinds of laws, we simply imposed a postage fee on e-mail?

Because it isn't really "simple." Who collects this? How does any server transporting it know the postage has been paid? Remember, you're not dealing with honest people here. These aren't guys with Earthlink accounts. Most of 'em aren't even in the U.S.

They get free accounts, send out a flood of spam and dump em before they're caught. Its a game of cat and mouse between the ISPs and the spammers.
