The Spam-as-Free-Speech Argument

A convicted felon is appealing his spam conviction. His lawyer is arguing that the legislation against spam violated free speech:
“…Lawyer Thomas M. Wolf said the state law that makes bulk e-mailing a felony is unconstitutional because it fails to distinguish between commercial messages, which are not covered by the First Amendment, and protected political and religious speech.”

If Mr Wolf would like to volunteer his primary email address, the internet community certainly would like to send some ‘free speech’ to his inbox.
