Hi John,

I'll try not to belabor it, but accidental that isn't corrected upon
formal legal notification becomes negligent and negligent has more or
less the same legal status as malicious.

The spammers lost because the networks published a terms of use
document that the spammers unambiguously violated. Even though it
interfered with the spammer's business, the block was merited so the
preponderance of the evidence fell in favor of the service provider.
