Although, they may not consider unsolicited messages that they send either for themselves or their customers Spam, objectively it is.

I just want everyone to agree on an accurate definition, though I am trying to point out different perspectives in order to reach that goal.
Unfortunately 'Spam' is too often defined as "I don't want this". I have one guy who complained about spam, so after doing some research I told him we could easily just dump those (they were legitimate subscriptions) and he said, "Well, no. I'm registered with that group so I may want to look at them at some point". Well, then it's not Spam.
