That's a good point. If the company whose stock is being pumped could be held
liable for the SPAM. Doesn't the CAN-SPAM (in the US anyway) cover for that?

The spammer isn't just guilty, the company represented in the spam is 
guilty of spamming too.

I realize the next question is: where is the company based and what are the laws 
there, but the exchanges holding the company liable is a great idea. There's a 
place where present laws could possibly apply a little pressure.
