Used to be in the same camp, before starting my own company. While the border is thin, it is clear, and there is a difference between marketing and spam.

I think you proved the point: when the spammer send spam they think they are doing marketing.

No, since you signed up on your own volition, obviously they are not unwanted emails.

But I always uncheck the newsletter etc. box and still get tons of them. From legit companies. That's spam, and goes straight to junk mail.

If that was the case, all newsletter senders in the world are spammers too. And all spammers thinking they are marketers is not logically equivalent to all marketing is spamming

Fair enough, if I opt-in it isn't spam.
