      They are paying for the mailing resources they are using ... i.e. postage, envelopes etc.

                      Because back in the day our government had balls to tell the antis to blow it out their ass. Could you imagine 1 million people yelling and in tears because they received coupons in the mail! Oh the fucking horror!

                          Your argument is the same argument that all the direct mailers are making. It is valid and has worked on the national level to prevent a flat out ban on SPAM.

                              I'm assuming you're being facetious, but with print mail, the vast majority of the cost is borne by the mailer...the recipient merely has to pull it out of the box and throw it away, compared to probably 20 cents for a postcard up to several dollars for a mailed catalog. That keeps it somewhat in check.

                              With email spam, you can send, I dunno, maybe a million messages for a hundred bucks or something? The cost and inconvenience to the million recipients, and their mail providers, substantially outweighs the spammer's cost.

                              The same thing happened with phone spam, as technological and infrastructure improvements drove down the cost of telemarketing (robodialers, etc.), to the point where the public finally reached their limit and we now have the federal do-not-call list.

                                  Direct mail advertising is pre-spam spam.
