   in various non-friendly countries where spam originates (China is a
   good example) even if they do officially "respect" copyright law. - Law suits take time. Between now and conclusion of the first court
   case, we could have years of spam in our mail boxes! - Contact information can change: phone numbers, PO boxes, stolen
   cell phones, temporary email addresses, etc. - Spammers do not always remember to include contact information!  I
   don't understand it either, but nobody said they were bright.  Also,
   some spam is non-commercial or sent by a third-party (for example,
   "pump and dump" stock scams), so contact information is not strictly
   required for the spammer to get their way.Dan
