This is a good idea, at least until the ACLU takes it to the three judge panel and claims it is a freedom of speech issue.
The courts have ruled a number of times that there are different "classes" of speech when it comes to free speech. Commercial speech (which spamming would fall under, IMO) receives substantially less freedom than any statements that you or I would make. At least that's what one of my lawyer-friends told me a while ago when we discussed the whole anti-spamming-laws issue...
That is true. If freedom of speech applied, Kia could say "our cars are faster and better than BMW's, and they have HUGE engines!"...even though it's not true. Under current laws though, that is not allowed.
