The law specifically states the ISPs can use any tool they want. They can block anyone they want for any reason.
SPAM is NOT free speech.

my definition of legit is when the can spam laws are followed. legit to me means within the law. of course subscribers don't typically want more spam but there are people obviously who like the offers or else it wouldn't be as profitable as it is.
where is the line drawn anyways? how do the blacklists know which are opt-in type newsletters and which are spam? as we all know anti-spammers sign up to these things just so they can get the emails and put the ips/domains on blocklists.
i don't care for telemarketers, my daily dose of pizza and wing advertisements in my mail box but its a part of life, just as people will have to get used to email advertisements as a part of life.
