Spamming blogs, when will this garbage end?

Here's a good article from EWeek which explains the latest problem in spam, blog spam. This is where an automated bot will post comments in someone's blog containing links to try to trick search engines into increasing their page rank. This is just another symptom of a great problem to which there is no solution in the wild world of the internet. Because it isn't regulated, things like this can go on and on and all anyone can do is respond to it. There is no proactive thing that can be done.

I've seen some of this crap come into my blog and I'm ready to shut down the comments portion completely. Why not? I need to help stem the tide of this really bad spam technique. I kept wondering why I was getting e-mail notifications on comments full of links which were usually something like gambling. What I hate is that it retards the good interactive blogging conversation. When will all this spamming end? I suppose where there is no longer any money to be made on it, and that will never happen.
