True.
My point was that this law, sadly, establishes the principle that
spamming is legal, as long as you abide by the rules. There is no
requirement to opt in and they can spam you until you opt out. I
believe you are right that most spam violates this law, but what good is
it if no one will enforce it? Worse yet, spammers have the option to
continue spamming legally.
