They do NOT have a right to exist and do business. They do NOT have any 'freedom of speech', since what they are 'saying' harms EVERYONE it comes in contact with. They are infringing on MY right to freedom of speech by making it harder for me to maintain an email account.
I see spammers and the companies behind it as nothing better than thieves.
