[...] I discovered earlier this week that some spammer(s) have used one of the domains I own (norblogg.net) when spamming a message board. I actually found this far more worse that content stealing as it looks like I’ve hired someone to spam others to get links in. I would never do that. [...]

[...] I’m sure there are plenty of people getting great help from World Vital Records, but I will NOT tolerate comment spam from any person or company, and any company who uses comment spam to promote their site or services…in a word…sucks.

Really? I wasn't addressing the issue of readers. I'm a very outspoken proponent of preventing comment spam reaching readers. I am addressing you, the blog owner. You are the one who sees the comment spam and stops it. You still have to see it, in one form or another. Will you buy from comment spammers? Someone is keeping these people rich. Whoever it is, we need to stop it.

The question is based on comment spam actually being presented to readers.

If comment spam is dealt with appropriately, readers will never actually have to ask the very same question you ponder on.

Keeping a close eye on comment activity in conjunction with some basic anti-spam measures, will negate any such issue.

What I often do is forward the evidence/spam/commentspam to abuse@legitimatecompanydomain.com

It may not do anything useful, but at least if they have someone, or a department to deal with it, then they can. If I get spam from a company, and it’s actually for that company/sponsored by that company I never do business with them again, period. No exceptions.
