You might get somewhere in a civil suit if you could prove that you were 
somehow damaged by this spam and for some reason you were unable to 
defend yourself against it while expecting the sender to be able to.

I wouldn't count on a jury to understand the concept, or to agree that 
all owners of computers should be expected to know more than the vendor 
or OS distributer about computer science and pick appropriate add-ons - 
or that anyone should be required to reinstall their OS at the frequency 
needed to get the fedora updates necessary to maintain security.
