If no one purchased stolen goods the burglary rate would crash to almost zero.
Spammers send tens of millions of e-mails to find the desperate one-in-10-million schmuck who actually believes that providence has sent him an anonymous stock tip so good he must buy it now or that member enlargement can be sent through the post.
If they didn’t buy you and I wouldn’t get Spam - period. I am not sure what direct steps could be taken to stop the Spam equivalent of ‘receiving stolen goods’ but we should start thinking about it.

Jail term is a bit harsh. But if there were a way to know who these people were then it would stop in a hurry I think.
