Oft companies make some pretty dumb decisions. Sure this may stop a couple of spam messages out of the probable millions.
What about their users? How comfortable will this make them when they know they are visiting a site that legally prosecutes people acting within their right?

Perhaps the problems with government officials are inherent to the fact that we DON'T elect straight-laced people, because those people are working hard all day, and happy at home with their families.
Here in Washington, the interstate speeds are set at 60 MPH (around Seattle). The police tailgate people traveling anything less than 70. Speeders are the guys going 20+ over.

Not sure how we still call them news agencies.
Actual paradox: What makes game developers money isn't what makes games fun.
Game creators work so hard to stop these guys... Maybe they should realize their content sucks if people are willing to pay to skip it.
