By that ruling, I could hire a professional to bump someone off and because
he is an independent professional bumperoffer I cannot be prosecuted because
what he does is illegal?
Anyway, The reason I posted this common problem to the list, is perhaps
because spamming the way much of it is being done, is illegal, that if many
different professionals in our field were to contact the necessary
congressman, perhaps this path to stop spamming could become a way of life.
