"compare the costs that ISPs pay to carry spam to the costs newspaper delivery trucks make to deliver newspapers"
Lame argument.
Newpaper consumers are by their very nature "opt-in"; there is "added value" to a newpaper advertisment, that is the news. Where is the "added value" of the recipient from "spam" which compensates him for the cost of transporting the message ?
And your argument about reciprocal agreements fails completely when you consider that not all entities on the internet are ISPs or are connected via ISPs.
"Spammers do pay, they pay their ISP. "
And then overuse the shared subnets which exist between them and the recipient. Subnets which are owned by others and for which the owner is not compensated proportionally. The "commons" here refers to the internet as a whole, not the ISP's pipe into it.
nothing stops one from blatent lying. I usually give 555-555-1212 and $1,000,000,000 as answers to such questions. Really throws off their demographics !
It's this, not the Spotted Owl whats putting the lumberjack out of work. Nothing left to but to put on women's clothing.

Don't know if I can give the name, but it is one of the largest pharmaceutical companies on the planet. Some BEA.
