If it's the case I've seen [1], it wasn't someone sending a little mailing list newsletter to people who have opted in, it was someone sending complaints and CC'ing everyone they could get an e-mail address of. The article I saw also makes it sound very much like he was told to stop repeatedly.

Seems like an appropriate fine. Or do you think I should be allowed to collect 150 e-mail addresses, then e-mail them out to all 150 other people, after some of them told me not to do that?
