The Russian solution seems good. Hanging them by the state would not be murder and it would reduce their numbers quickly.
Do any of the spamers serve jail time?

Spam can be forwarded to phishing-report@us-cert.gov. It's part of USA's National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC). Another option, if it still works, is to forward your spam to sp@mnest.com and a bot will reply to the spammer for you.

You can simply forward the entire email to the FTC at spam@uce.gov

This what I get when I try to go to Spamcop -

Connection not protected

The security of your connection is reduced. Criminals can attempt to steal your data from the website. You are advised to leave this website.

URL:

spamcop.net

Reason:

Invalid name of certificate. Either the name is not on the allowed list, or was explicitly excluded. View certificate

I understand the risks and wish to continue

I don't agree that by hitting the unsubscribe button is the end-all to your woes. That is actually pretty naive. By doing so, you are confirming that your e-mail address is a valid and active one. Be prepared for an onslaught of unwanted mail!

I use gmail and still receive spam from Nigeria, the dying widow eager to bequeath me her life savings, hackers trying to extort me by telling me they have videos of my sleazy web wanderings, erectile dysfunction remedies, proposals from Russian hotties etc. etc. It never ends. Sometime I receive as many as 28 a day. All because I hit the unsubscribe button. I wouldn't be directing people to do so as clearly you don't know what you are talking about!

EDITOR'S NOTE: I never said to hit the unsubscribe button. You might want to read the article again, focusing on the word "delete."

I attempted to get to SpamCop in your article How to Report a Spammer, their security Certificate is not valid or up to date?
