It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out a thousand
Emails with the same content is spam, so why did AOL let it
through without investigation? And how come they get to sue
someone for using what they willingly and knowingly
provided, ie: the service to send that spam? Who gets to sue
AOL for delivering it knowingly? If you or I had done this,
we would be accomplices, and guilty of "aiding and
abetting".

Something does not add up here.

  AOL spokesman Nicholas Graham said Smith "was the poster
  child for the Can-Spam Act."

Hmmm... Do we have a clue here perchance?

  Hilton issued a summary judgment in favor of AOL, saying
  Smith "refused to participate in this case, willfully
  disregarding ... discovery obligations and failing to
  comply with multiple court orders."

And another... ?

Scuse moi while I get my pipe and deerstalker... ;)
