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.

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.

First you say it's nuisance, now you say it is trespassing. Others say it is harassment. These are all valid local concepts with possibilities for local enforcement. But you and the other statists grab a concept here and an idea there and turn it into Federal law. Nobody on this thread has stated what authority the Federal government has over a voluntary transactions such as you signing up for phone service.
