Now I didn't ask for the information that they had sent to me so doesn't that mean the email Ericware Technologies sent me is spam? also the part about being fined $500 U.S. dollars per hour plus Legal Fees is kind of rediculous.

Heh. According to what law? That statement right there tells you that this company endorses spamming, and will never give a shit if any of its members are spamming. In order to get you to not complain about it, they pre-emptively threaten you.
