But the issue is not just AOL.
Okay I do this for AOL. Now what if some other ISP h as the same problem. Okay we talk to them too.
Now we go deeper...
We're doing mass mailings across the country, we have to deal with a fairly large number of companies. Do we have to talk to ALL of them, just so that our email gets through?
And doing mailings across the country doesn't mean the audience is large enough to warrant such measures. Imagine I've got 1,000 people that want email everytime a new dupe slashdot story gets posted. These people may live around the world, and if I was doing this all myself, I don't have the time to email ISP's in foreign countries because there spam system is blocking my mail because it looks like spam to them.
This story is more about general moaning about blocking, not just AOL.
He had a life, but he got it from Microsoft so it crashed!

I doubt that sending an email with a spoofed "From" email address is illegal. It's not like your analogy at all, it's more like someone dressing up as your friend, meeting you at the bank and asking you for your card and your pin number to show you something "cool".
Just because it could harm you, don't make it illegal.
And your bit about privacy? Well, they obtained everyting from the public domain. They didn't do anything anyone else, who would could have actually exploited these people, couldn't have done.
I think your silly for thinking the proffeser shoiuld be fired and the students prosecuted.
Google News hotlinks there images from the stories in question... so I'd guess that there is no issue, since they are not really a news site, just a link to other news sites, a news site search engine basically.
But on a serious note, this sort of thing could happen. Goverments (not nessacarily the US one) could start forcing certain people to breed together based on their DNA and possible genetic combinations that would happen... sort of like 'natural' genetic modifications.
Your corrent, in that this doesn't work for a small company.
But if your a company doing international multimillion dollar buisiness, then this sort of stuff starts to come into play.
Maybe not because you or I agree with it, but it's because that's what is done, and you either have to do it, or find some other way to compete knowing that your at a disadvantage regarding these things.
Then your only trick is to remove this demonstrable relashionship. You can go up the chain a couple companies, and then go down a different chain that could be longer or whatever. It can be (and is) done.
One area where leasing stuff is useful is during lawsuits.
In a smaller company if you lease your office, the furniture, the computer hardware, basically no real assets, when you get sued (which seems to be a when not if thing, in the US market) and if you lose, you have nothing to give up.
But if you want to own the stuff you lease, that's easy too. Just need a second company, company B. Company A leases the stuff from Company B. You own and run company C, which owns and runs companys A and B. This is only a small part of a giant company chain that can exist for several reasons.

I'd say reading skills need some work.
But what if the Buggers attack? Who will save us then?
That's it, time to set up a military academy in space with the brightest kids in the world practicing military games...
So...
Since when does not the person who lost money get to sue for damages?
That's like the goverment suing someone for downloading music, instead of the copyright holder.
Apples, oranges..
These guys are being charged with breaking criminal law regarding spam.
12 year old girls are being sued (not charged) for copyright infringement.
Overrated? I've asked a question for which I want an answer, and I get modded overrated?
So since tiger* is 10.4, does it get these patches as well?
*TERMS OF USE
The reader of these terms of use agrees not to sue me for trademark infringement for the use of 'tiger'
Except that if it was ACTUALLY theft, then it would be a criminal act, and that you could go to jail for it and such.
However it's not theft, it IS copyright infringement, and it's only a civil matter, so they can only sue you for damages.

Your not allowed to price fix.
Your allowed to share, or develop technology together.
The books are short enough that you shouldn't have a problem grabbing the first book and reading it.
Then you can form your own opinion about the series, as any answer you get will be someone elses opinion.
Why that's... 911,000!
DEAR GOD NO!
