If someone steals an hour of my time, I think it would be fair for them to spend just one single minute in jail. That is less than 1/60th of the damage that they caused me! So, if a spammer causes a billion hours of time to be wasted, by millions of people around the world, it would be fair for them to spend only just that many minutes in jail. One MINUTE of punishment for each HOUR that they stole. A billion minutes is 694,444 days, or 1902 years. So to get off really easy, a spammer should spend 1902 years in jail.
