The message is applicable only to the person that spamcop sends it to. They are reporting a problem, and they are reporting it to the proper role accounts for that problem. In most cases, the reports reach the right place for the right problem.
"(3) the transmission and reception of the message appears to the recipient to give a disproportionate benefit to the sender"
Actually, the benefit is for the recipient. It is a method for SC to inform the recipient reguarding an issue that is problematic to others. You definately have the right to not be informed, just as they have the right to blacklist. However, SC feels that it is beneficial to everyone as a whole if they do inform the responsible parties concerning the problem so that hopefully the problem can be resolved.
