I'm still not sure people understand the situation. There's an attendee list, but that list doesn't have e-mail addresses. It didn't come from the mailing list. The person looked up who went to the conference and then found their e-mail address elsewhere. I also don't think the above is wrong in any way and people should just get on with their lives.
When will the US get sane anti-spam laws. No, I don't expect a answer. That behaviour here is illegal. Any Australian company / individual that does this can be fined regardless of where the email is sent from in the world or which third party they hire to do it. If you send to a Australian email address you can also be fined, provided you know it is a Australian address, as you are implicitly doing business in Australia. Remember you are choosing to do business with Australia when you send the email.
