Regardless of whether spam helped or hindered the industry in the past, the time is coming when we're going to need as much public sympathy as possible. Spammers spend their days and nights working to undermine any goodwill the public has for the rest of the adult industry. And that pisses me off.
Buying a CD of 100,000,000 email addresses and using an open relay to spam everyone does not count as working. Or, at least, it's no more "work" than stealing car stereos -- sure, there's some effort involved, but it's fundamentally theft, not work.
Ah, I know I'm half preaching to the converted and half pissing in the wind. It's just irritating that anyone could think of spam as a good thing these days.

Has anyone ever REALLY bought one of those disks? Believe me, if the list is any good, it would not be selling for that cheap.
While you might not think of spam as a good thing, I'm sure the sites/programs bringing in a couple hundred joins per day aren't going to be complaining anytime soon.
While I hate blind spam, it's because it cuts into my margins on my true double opt-in lists. So, it's purely for selfish reasons. Just like I got pissed when everyone started using autosubmitters while I still handsubmitted to TGP's...admittedly, purely selfish reasons.
