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...

resellers of what?

>for legit non-spamming companies?

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.
