Unfortunately, the boycott method depends on conventional economics. In
the case of email, as with a few other things, there is no scarcity, so
normal economics doesn't apply.
The spammer can send 100 million emails, get 634 sales, and call it
a success. And the cost of email is still dropping, so any restriction
based on money/economics isn't practical. I strongly prefer a technical
solution to a legal one; maybe this is it.
