You may remember things differently, which shows you are more obsessed than actually have an axe to grind or an agenda.
You can just read the threads for yourself. I'm not going to bother posting the links here, but if someone has that time they'll see what I mean.
You don't consider accusations of hacking and outright theft as insulting perhaps. I do. The fact remains that when you start on those themes here and on other boards, they are vastly irrelevant to the thread subject.

Again I might search for that thread but I never blamed CCBill for anything. It was my fault or my misunderstanding. A one-time mailing error does not make for spamming, nor constitute our policy, which is what you imply with your simple insinuations and false statements.

I think the law is a little too broad but as it applies to adult it is appropriate and beneficial in reducing adult material from reaching minors. The law is good when it applies to the abuse of technology but the amount of effort that goes into finding and prosecuting offenders brings us to selective prosecution to make a point (like the irs scaring us every April with some tax fraud case). There are people still spamming the law has worked in general to reduce spam but many factor the cost of a fine into their bottom line and others just keep doing it knowing they won't be found out or prosecuted because they stay under the radar of being a value case to the AG.

That's a paragraph I respect and can respond to. There's validity to the point that snailspam is legal and email spam not.
I rarely if ever get anything in snail or e mail that I want or might want to file for future reference. Snail mail spam should be banned simply on an ecological basis. When I want something, I shop for it (or research or hunt or look up or what have you).
CAN-SPAM in my humble opinion has really stopped nothing. We may have caught a couple spammers but that's just millions of emails in a sea of billions.
I don't know if spam was ever a porn-specific problem. I actually get very little porn spam. It's all vuitton bags and fake rolexes, penis pills and nigerian scam spam. And obviously it comes from other countries, where you can probably go shop for spammers to spam for you.
I think I would simply not spam on an ethical basis.
Laws and other measures seem to serve nothing to prevent spamming so I really have little thought for them either way. You're probably right in saying we'd be better off spending our money elsewhere.
As for kids getting porn spam, I don't care. Porn is sex, sex is a natural human activity, and not as bad as the violence they get on the news, in sports and on their entertainment daily.
