thats the end of idea... 'black books' shouldn't be accessible by everyone. 
Rules, only rules ( what is spam, what u can do, what is 'illegal' )
should be published. 

Spammer can pay i dont know ... maybe in ripe ... for example . 
standard fee can be for example 1000$ for documented. 

all this is ..maybe... maybe... its beginning of good idea. 

i know that logs are not a proof. but logs from hundred servers 
which were 'attacked' with SPAM - it can be base to adding such a company 
to 'black list'. Such a list should be accessible only by ISP.
