They are, however, allowed to spam anything ELSE they feel like spamming, as long as the spam: 1) doesn't have forged headers; 2) includes an opt-out process; and 3) includes a physical address. In other words, they're free to spam merrily away as long as the spam is "CAN-SPAM compliant". Why not title this "FTC says 'Yes, Phoenix Avatar, you CAN-SPAM'"?
