Wether the addresses were gleaned using specially trained hedgehogs
or by people looking at the sites to target who they're going to
SPAM, targeted UCE is still UCE.
Apparently AWS doesn't grok that.

Anybody have a contact at Amazon AWS?
I sent in a spam complaint, and got back the below response - while
I give them kudos for actually, you know, responding, I'm pretty
sure that we can all agree that "sending the same canned message to
email addresses scraped off websites" is the very definition of
spam, yet somehow the EC2 abuse team seems to consider it a
perfectly acceptable explanation - I'd sure love to discuss this
with someone with a clue at Amazon AWS

Our customer has responded to your abuse report and provided the

"The below emails were sent individually to the recipient using a
canned message. There is no automation or mass emailing at all. Our
publisher representative personally visited each of the below
websites, decided they were right for our service and emailed them
individually. The emails are sent through gmail using a web
interface to their API.
Let me know if you require any additional information.
Dwayne"
