If you had just made the effort to skim through that post before you called it spam,you would had found out that it says "The only thing required is opening an account at ActiveState to register your copy".So you didn't even make the effort,but at the same time you figured that you had enough information to name it spam...

I love The Atlantic but they were engaged in these blackhat tactics.
