CAN-SPAM Doesn't Legalize SPAM (Score 1)

Can we get this straight please? "Spamming" wasn't "illegal" before CAN-SPAM so CAN-SPAM couldn't have "legalized" it. True, there were a number of state laws that RESTRICTED the practice (and even one that prohibited, but that law was never tested and was likely unconstitutional as a blanket prohibition on commercial speech via e-mail).
