We have an existence proof that this is the wrong way to approach the problem: the RIAA and the MPAA. The disaster this has wreaked upon the Internet is biblical in proportion. More laws about content on the Internet is the last thing we need.
A much better solution to this would be at layer five, by just refusing unmoderated email from people you don't know. We already have the protocol tools to do this�what we lack are implementations.
Perhaps because they wouldn't/doesn't/hasn't work well or not at all.
Did you really mean unmoderated or unsolicited? Both?
