If you take into consideration that Consent is just a synonym and that by definition sending out e-mail without asking the sender before they do it is actually wrong, they in reality have to ask first the person in authority (which in this case would be the e-mail account holder) to take that course of action, then it would be ok to send out their e-mails.
Also if you look at the dictionary term of consent you would see that you have to give assent to a certain proposal or course of action (assent meaning agreeing)in our case the sending of a e-mail we didn't want. Proposal being a consideration, discussion or adoption, or to suggest.
And if sending spam is implied as ok, then it is basically a tacit agreement, which means it doesn't have to be spoken in order for it to happen, its just known to be ok. But in the case of sending e-mail to someone whom neither person or entity have never had contact with, how then can you imply on a proposal with the person in authourity who would be making a charge, in this case the E-mail account holder, if you've never met with or discussed it with them.
So in reality spammers have to send out permission slips before the spam. Then the user can decide to have the e-mails.
We shouldn't have to deny something we didn't say was ok to send. If they had permission its ok, and wouldn't be spam. Then all you have to do is put yourself on a list saying yes or no I want the mail from you and eventually one of two things would happen. A: You'd receive so many requests and would have yourself on so many lists that you would never receive mail you didn't want. OR B: The Spammers would get the clue that nobody wants their junk mail and they would stop wasting their time or get sued.

The Account holder has rights too and we should all take this into consideration and fight for our rights. Am I right or wrong? Technically we shouldn't be getting raped, thats they way I see it if I look at the statement very carefully.
I got my reasonings for dissaproval of the above Statement Which spammers say that what they're doing is legal from both common sense and the www.dictionary.com site.

Ok But we shouldn't have to Opt-Out:
