The CANSPAM act only allows ISPs to sue spammers, the recipients can not sue. It sounds like IL's law (without having read it) may prevent the ISP selling the pink contract from being sued. Of course, if they were a reputable ISP, they wouldn't write a pink contract, their contract would contain a clause for immediate suspension pending an investigation for termination and would line up to sue the spammer for violating the terms of service. If they don't block their spamming customer, I think they should get sued.
The rationale pushed by the lobbyists that wrote CANSPAM is that the ISP pays the price for the extra bandwith, storage, etc for handling the junk mail. Well, we pay for an OC3 to a backbone carrier, our own storage, etc, so why the H$** can't we sue the spammers?
