Your analogy is wrong, the wire is equivalent to you leaving your door open with a come-on-in sign. You signed up for the service that allows the calls, that's your mistake.

Yours is the minority opinion. You should spend some time imaging how you might be wrong.

Here's a hint: crank calls (unsolicited and useless nuisance calls) have been illegal for decades. 'Telemarketing' is no different.

How do you and your cohorts know I don't want your crappy products or fraudulent services? Simple. I didn't ask for them.

Okay, following your reasoning, the FDNC list is an electronic "No Trespassing" sign I've just posted on my phone line. Anyone who violates the sign, just like anyone who violates a real no-trespassing sign, opens themselves up to legal consequences.
