Will again - don't forget that the US legalised spam, Microsoft tried to implement smart tags (a very Zangoish concept), and Verisign tried their traffic theft scam. Zango has already been convicted in the US courts, and they are still a publicly quoted company. PayPal was convicted of what I consider to be fraud, and ordered to pay $600 million in compensation - they are still operating as a quasi-bank, and still up to their old tricks.

Unfortunately the law isn't as much help as one would hope, and it's extremely expensive.
