I disagree. I don't think the spammers, by and large, 'own' their IP
addresses. They are using (as someone said) hijacked space, or compromised
machines.

Odds are since many of these machines aren't SUPPOSED to be sending mail in
the first place, no one is going to complain, so nothing is going to be done
about them.
