Sending UCE is like screwing  in church during the sermon.
If you are noticed you are shunned for the rest of your days.

Neat idea, but what happens now is spammers become hit men. I see a scenario
like this:

CBA Widgets really, really, really hates a competitor (ABC Widgets), and
sends out spam on their behalf. Little Timmy at the end of the spamming line
HAS all the documentation that "looks" like everything is legit to him, so
he's in the clear. The company in question, ABC Widgets, never intended to
send the spam in the first place, especially for the enlargement product of
the day! But in the ries-knight.net document, ABC Widgets would be
subpoena'd to "give-up" said spammer, would know nothing about said spammer
or the email sent on their behalf (unless they actually got one and their
own spam filters didn't happen to catch it), and could be penalized with the
whole weight of the California legal system because their response is "We
didn't know." 

How does this solve anything?
