this is 100% false and anyone who will support the opposite doesn't have an idea.

Here's how it goes:

(1) If the email you received is SPAM, you should opt out or you'll endup among everyones list in short period of time.

(2) If the email you received is not SPAM, meaning you opted, then when you'll request remove, there's a high possibility to end up on (1). Optin list owners trade/sell their removals to bulk mailers. This doesn't mean you shouldn't request removal. The bulk mailer will remove 99%. Sending you emails you do not want causes him problems. Mailer can see your email status without having to mail you.

What you posted is a crap spamcop spreads in order to increase the problem of bulk mailing, optin or not.
