They hate government meddling when they don't control government. Just like they hate government spending when they don't get to choose where the money is spent.

Correct on both counts. This is known as the concept of Government by the people. Obviously, it's a concept lost in today's world, but it's a worthy principle to work back toward.

Nothing is being spoofed.

Typically, the spammers find a support ticket submission page, or a bug tracker or some other quasi-public system. Then they open a ticket or report a bug using YOUR email address and a name like "YOURNAME, we are going to charge your credit card $587.16 for Norton Antivirus if you don't call XXX or email YYY in the next 24 hours"

YOU then get an email from the ticketing system or bug tracker or whatever it is. This email contains the spammer's message, plus whatever is in the stock "your report is now in our system" email template the system is using.

This was all over Zendesk a few months ago. I was getting them from seemingly every company on the planet that had outsourced ticket tracking to their system.

Duke 3D's soundtrack was not exclusively the work of Bobby Prince; Lee Jackson, Apogee's go-to music guy, also did some of the tracks, including the title theme, Grabbag.

Prince used not only his MIDI skills but also his experience as a lawyer to ensure his 'inspired' derivatives were as close as legally possible to the originals. The relationship between individual tracks is often very clear and sometimes even hinted in the metadata of the source files.
