Maybe there ought to be laws to enforce?
Burning houses and killing people is a bit exagerated, but there is a legitimate point to your reply...if it were perfectly legal to rob banks, it would certainly be a lot harder to prevent bank robbery. The fact that all this spyware is perfectly legal (de facto, if not de jure) is a major difficulty.

The idea that we are simply having trouble locating the perpetrators seems to me to be silly.

The real problem is that law enforcement seems to be concentrating on "rights" of content providers and ignoring rights of computer owners.
