They are hiding because if they tried to go legit, they would make no money and they wouldn't have a server 4 minutes after they started mailing.
I would love to see the current crop of spammers try to run legit. My mailbox would be empty!

Exactly, so SPAM *IS* legal.
You are right, if you were to start mass mailing with can-spam requirements, you'd get blocked, however there are a lot of ISPS not blocking legit, legal, can-spam emails. LARS is one example of an adult business doing it legally - his emails are totally compliant and he's making bank from it.
I didnt come in this to argue, but to hopefully broaden your mind when it comes to emails, spammers, and how the media has blown it totally out of proportion
