But spammers don't do that. They break into people's
computers, and install malware. They steal resources
from their victims. They're also disrupting communication,
and give a bad name to a perfectly good medium.
People's time is worth a lot, whether private, or
corporate.

I disagree. I would give life sentence to particularly
egregious cases. If I do damage to the economy to the 
tune of 50 gigabucks, why shouldn't I go to jail?
