Complaints are about UCEs, and not missing opt-out possibilities.

You will need a person or company willing to go to the police or contact a lawyer, before this can worked on by legal entities. And: you can only complain for those case, that happened to you and not in general. Users are usually uninformed about their possibilities and only complain a lot. Spam is not being recognized by the masses as being a crime so far. Thats why we need a solution to measure the spam polution of providers in general and need a more international solution that really hurts those provider. RIPE would be great, ECO too ...
