Once the precedent is set, the "no spam" list can be expanded to include adults who don't want to receive any kind of "porn spam," with appropriate sanctions attatched.
It's an interesting "who do you trust?" intellectual problem. If a company is given a "don't e-mail" list, like the "don't call" list...and scrubs it against their mailing list...and is later hit with sanctions because the list they were given wasn't complete, either by accident or design...the sanctions could amount to millions and begin killing companies.
Now, to my way of thinking, the original "don't call" list for telephone solicitors is "restraint of trade," which is unconstitutional. Of course, the Constitution means less and less as time passes.
