I wouldn't mind. But I don't see this happening.
How plausible do you think your theory is?
I agree with most of what you're saying (sponsors deriving income from spam, all it takes is an email to a government official, etc), but I still feel that if someone is spamming enough to draw the government's attention, they will have also drawn the sponsor's attention as well.
Say you send out a few thousand emails just for fun, and one lands in some ultra-conservative prick's inbox who so happens to know his senator's email address. This guy fires off an email to his senator, who receives at least a few hundred emails a day, not to mention a few hundred spam emails. One of the senator's lackeys reads the email in the next few days. He passes the word on to who ever enforces Can Spam. They contact the ultra-conservative guy. They meet with him to see the email. Then they trace it back to you. Then they find you. How long do you think this took? A few weeks? Months? How many mailers have you sent out since then? If your sponsor hasn't canned you by now, there's something wrong, and they should be held partly responsible.
