Re: Nice
If the crime is committed in California, i.e. the recipients of spam are domiciled there, California courts hold jurisdiction. Same as if you'd struck a pedestrian in with a car registered in another state or committed mail or wire fraud in California without ever having crossed the state line.
The problem lies in forcing someone to appear in California court, especially spammers from overseas. Extradition is not an option, probably even in the US for this civil offense, so they would then have to refile in the jurisdiction where the spammer has seizable assets.
I think.
