There is a difference between the people selling the product, and the
people sending the spam. Usually not the same people. The SELLERS do
have a transmission cost as they must pay the spammers to spam people
for them. Admittedly not much, but the sellers are a much easier target
than the spammers. Drive their costs up significantly and you dry up
the spam market by implication (for types 1 and 2, which at least for
me are the bulk of my 50 or so spams a day).
