Well, extrapolating, should we make it a law that everyone must put a
lock on every door of every building and then jail the owner of said
building if it is broken into (and fine the maker of the lock)?

I DON'T buy anything from spammers, and I KEEP TRACK OF WHO SPAMS ME.
I put up with ads on the TV because they pay for programming. When
spammers pay for the Internet, then I'll start putting up with spam.
