Unfortunately, that's how courts look at the matter. That's the reasoning behind court decisions allowing junk mail--the cost theory. With physical mail, the mailer assumes the heavy costs. With email, the costs are transferred to the receiving ISP and, in terms of time processing the mail, the recipient. Regardless, in both scenarios the receiver wastes time filtering.

I've always thought spam is more of a technical issue instead of a legal one.
