What's new about this is that we now have documentary evidence that AT&T and PSInet have both conspired with spammers to look the other way whilst the spammers commit theft and trespass; and since PSInet is incorporated in Virginia, their conspiracy is probably a felony crime, while AT&T's is mere tortious behavior.
However, in both cases, the existence of the "pink contract" constitutes evidence of classic "simple conspiracy," which is also a criminal offense, and since it crosses State lines in both cases, it's probably under Federal jurisdiction.
