If someone challenges you to a fight saying, "I dare you to hit me right now," and you respond in a like manner, saying "I dare you to throw the first punch," then you are also guilty of fighting language. The spammer is a form of attacker and your behavior should be within the bounds of fending off personal attack. This kind of activity would be beyond that. The purpose is to deter escalation of engagements that leave a bigger mess for law enforcement to clean up. But I don't know how far we are extending these kinds of laws to electronic activity yet. | |

With that assumption, would one violate the California statute you cite, or similar statutes in other states? Would it even be necessary to consider whether the target was "advertising in good faith"? | |
