I think it is a "feel-good" law to, well, make people feel good that something is being done about spam. But there are very few things we can do to fight spam because spammers do not care about the laws and are very sneaky about finding ways to hide their tracks. Plus, not all spammers are from the country where you receive it making international fighting that much more difficult. Plus, once we find a way to do what you are proposing, the spammers would just find a way around that. Then we could come up with another way to stop it and again, they would find a way around that.
Also, the only real way to ever stop spam is to have people stop buying the crap that spammers sell. There are just enough (be it .005% of the population) that do think, YES! I can enlarge my penis with this cream, or, I should send my money to that poor Nigerian... you get my point. These stupid idiots who send money to the spammers keep them alive and profitable. If we can stop (or get rid of) these dumbfucks, spammers would have no incentive to spam us.
