In what way is transacting business on the Internet not transacting business in real life? It's a silly distinction. 'People' transact business, and the Internet is one of many tools they can use to do so. To say there is no rule of law over the Internet is like saying there is no rule of law over a hammer. Yes people can do bad things with both tools and if they do they can be arrested or fined for it under existing laws.
