How is something like this going to affect The Phoenyx?

I can't help feeling this is not going to be a good thing.  Not only 
will it mean most end-users receiving *more* spam, only this time from 
big business rather than small-time crooks, but it could easily make 
life a lot harder for small mailing list operators such as The Phoenyx.
