I believe Hotmail has a setting where you will receive emails only from people from your address book.
That's one of way of making sure only approved emails are sent to the inbox.
The pivotal issue in this case was not privacy vs. freedom or liberty, it all came down to whether or not the email Mr. Hamidi sent amounted to a trespass to chattel.
In first year of law school, people are generally introduced to a case in torts Compuserve. In this case, Compuserve won it's case against spammers on exactly this tort: trespass to chattel. The court ruled that the extensive use of the servers amounted to significant "dispossesion" of the chattel(property). The court talked about the significant useage of memory and CPU cycles.
So the struggle the lower courts in this case were trying to resolve was whether or not this act of emailing 30,000 amounted to the detrimental use of Intel's chattel(property). It is important to note that you cannot win on this tort without showing damages occurred. And it was upon this very issue of damages that the S.C. decided that this did not meet the requirement of the tort.
While the Compuserve case opened the door to allow lawsuits in the abuse of another's system through email, this case is a milestone in that it limits how wide the door is.

I preused the article and no mention of how much they sold the OS for.
Anyone else think that it would have been better to have open sourced the OS rather than keep it closed and sell it?
The OS had great potential in it's early days. I think the open source community could do great things with the OS if given the chance.
Remember when punch cards went obsolete?

Yes.
I'm old enough where my toddler drinks Pediasure, my wife drinks Boost (to give her nutrients during her pregnancy), and I'm on Slimfast.

I should have taken the Red Pill.
Brilliant move from the telemarketers. This will surely win sympathy from us consumers.

The Supreme Court made the proper judgment.
