Huh, but this is the ideal case! 
If it's an 800 (or 888) phone number, do call them at night, press 
'0' when you listen to their answering machine (this presumably lets 
you leave a message) and make them listen to all your favourite CD's.
They will pay for it. 
It doesn't really hurt to mark 1000 e-mail messages from the same address 
and delete them all at once. A good way to deal with this scum would 
be to subscribe them to 100 different news groups, I know there are 
ways to do this, but I don't know how.
Cheers,
Kirill
