I wouldn't put the blame 'directly' on NA for this one, many groups have taken it upon themsleves to mine the whois database of NS. I won't name names cause at certain times a few major ISPs have done it as well. Regardless, spam is spam, and there isn't a good way to prevent people from mining the NS database. other then to ditch contact info on the records, which would be... silly.
