Funny, that the FCC has to get involved to shut down spammers. In my past experience, if you were a spammer in Canada, as soon as you sent out more than 100,000 emails, you were breaking a gazillion terms of use policies with the ISP, even if you were a wholesale hosting customer. I would have thought the same rules would have applied. And if there weren't rules to that effect, some light bulb would start creating them as part of the terms of service in the contracts. Silly loopholes. Nothing feels better than shutting down someone who's in breach of the terms of service.
It's the little things that can make your day.
