Except the existing regulations, which is why spamming is relatively rare on Amateur radio.

Occasional infringement does occur, but it is relatively easy to track down and deal with.

And of course this is is the whole point of this thread.

The existing regulations would still exist if encryption was allowed. Spammers still are incentivized to not encrypt their spam to maximize the number of listeners that exist.
