Needless to say, it's now in the hands of their ISP's abuse department. I believe this could count as a "terrorist threat" as well, something that the authorities don't take kindly to these days.
I don't see how one has to drag the subject of terrorism into this, nor why being against spam could be interpreted as "against freedom". The fact that others have a right to use the Internet as they please doesn't mean that *I* have the obligation to receive their junk. Their freedom stops where mine starts (and viceversa); remember that?

Well, the wierd thing is, either you accept the "counter-terrorism argument that governments are proposing and use this as a threat or you accept the spamming and continue to fight for the right of others to use the internet for all purposes, business or otherwise. Sounds like a catch 22 doesnt it? If anyone can find a way through the legal quagmire of this, please let me know, as I am sure it could provide funding for many seriously deserving charities, as well as - ahem - of course substantial amounts of cash...
