If it is *deliberately* run as an open list thats fine. You just need
to document it and make sure the whole list knows thats the policy.
You could also send the list membership to the DMA to save them time
and trouble - they might even give you a cut of the proceeds of the
spam list selling.
Personally, since US people often seem to sue first and think later if
at all, I would expect someone hosting a list with openly visible
subscription list to be sued into non-existance the first time a member
got spam.
BTW "the EU or the UK have no jurisdiction over our list" is wrong - in
the same way as the US music industry has no jurisdiction over a school
age person in Scandinavia I guess.
