I believe there is another spin to be put on this discussion.  Spammers 
routinely acquire personal information about people without their consent 
and sell this information to others.  I think that before your personal 
information is bartered for cash, you should be consulted.  
If this one requirement is enforced, then spam ought to dramatically 
decrease without any other actions being required.
