Resellers of a product at some unsuspecting company who has no idea that the person/company that just signed up intends to use spam to push the product. Admittedly this will make the spammer easy to track and prosecute...and any legit company should/would shut them off as soon as they realize what is happening...but for a third party to attack a legit company because of what one reseller does for a short time is objectionable.
This collateral damage concept comes up every once in a while. I think most people would take a different view of this if they were the ones put out of business as a result of the "collateral damage". It's all fine and good until it happens to you...

Legit non-spamming companies who deal with spammers may be collateral damage in an HTTP counter-attack, raising the costs of the legit company doing business with spammers.
