I dont even understand spamming now. THere is no use in it from a marketing standpoint as it will just be mixed in with thousands of other spam that a user will mass delete if they are not armed with a spam filter. I have yet to meet a person who looks at their inbox and says "Oh, look, free 'V iCo Den', sweet! [click]". Its a waste of time for anyone to take part in spamming.

Well, logic dictates that you must be wrong i.e. that there must in fact be people who are buying this stuff, or else the spammers wouldn't waste their time, but I don't know.

You are correct, however, it costs virtually nothing to spam, and if you can just just a couple of suckers out of a few hundred messages sent you can make your money back, and then some. That's not even speaking of the money they get from selling the data they collect by installing the spyware on people's machines.
