I would disagree with your definition of "spam". I propose that an 
advertisement is "spam" if the combination of targeting and delivery medium 
causes the effort/cost required to *not* respond to the ad to be larger than 
the expected (as in, "expected value" statistical idea) benefit of the ad. 
That is, when disposing of the unwanted spam costs you more than you gain by 
getting the occasional ad you respond to, it's spam.
