Bad, bad idea! Its the quickest way to get your own address on such a
CD-ROM; you have just confirmed your own address exists and is read by a
human being.

The one and only backlash that works is complaining to their ISPs.
http://spamcop.net/ will help you generate complaints. If their ISPs don't
listen (there are ISPs that don't), their upstream connectivety providers
will get the complaints. Eventually some abuse department somewhere gets
pissed off enough to disconnect the spammer, their ISP with them if they
have to.
