Sending addresses are the property of the domain. Mail sent within the
acceptable domain uses is not spoofed. Mail sent through other channels to
avoid domain policies is spoofed.
It seems to be a common misconception that addresses are the property of
the
sender. If you want an address to be your property you can sign up for
your
own domain, otherwise they belong to the domain and the domain
administrators
set the policy for each domain.
We do not agree that abusing an address amounts to forgery. In my
view that makes as little sense as saying that if you abuse a rental
car, you are guilty of auto theft.

The owner of a assigning resources of the zone to a user e.g. a resolvable
e-mail delivery path, is (or should be) responsible for the use of that
'rental'. In your example you are missing the key correlation to the analogy,
the 'spammer' is not being said to abuse the zone resources they are in
practice (in this example) stealing the zone resource (resolution resources for
the invalid delivery path, DSN creation) of the zone operator/owner.
