A good point, but when you are in goverment this is the last of your problems. Youy have to be able to stand up at elelction time and tell all the old ladies and busy bodies what you have done to stem this or that evil.

You passed a law to stop it.You passed a law to stop it.

The fact that the law does not work is irrelevent, you can then say that the law breakers are just bigger scum than you first thought.

So if I want to close down a competitor, I just start emailing his site all over the shop from a Yahoo address. How does he prove he did not do it? They prove he does because the email is about his site or service.
