Yup. The only real solution will most likely come from the marketplace. The worldwide nature of the internet prevents any one government from being able to enact any laws that stick regarding spam unless your country is walled off from the rest of the world via big firewalls like China. I predict this law will fall flat on its face unless they come up with some inventive way to enforce it without trampling on invasion of privacy or access rights. The spammers have to be having a good laugh on this one.
