Since you say there are no real laws governing this in whatever you country you are operating out of, your choices are severely limited. I tend to think that in any organization where someone like your boss manages to make it to his position, it will probably not do much good to go over his head. Also, there's no reason to suppose that tattling on your boss won't get you fired just as quickly as many of the other options.

I think the main thing you need to decide is whether or not you really want to work for this company. This is not a mistake or a matter of simple ignorance. Your boss is actively seeking ways to get around people who don't want to participate in his spamming. He is stealing resources and annoying people. He is contributing to what is seen as one of the biggest problems on the internet. Sadly, as long as you are part of the project, so are you.

I don't mean that to sound harsh. We all need to earn our living, somehow. Maybe where you live it is hard to get jobs in your field or maybe the pay is exceptionally good. You just need to decide what you need more: peace of mind or the job. If you weight the risks and consequences and decide the job is more important than your principals, then you need to do your job the best you can, even if it means spamming. If you truly have no way to involve outside authorities or stop the spamming and you really can't stand to be involved in the spamming, you should cut your losses and leave the job.

I wish you luck, it sounds like quite a dilemma.
