because apparently the list is privileged.

well, technically the list was the recipient of the message, so the list 
should have destroyed it before sending it out.  It instead violated the 
agreement by forwarding it off to several hundred (thousand?) people :)  It 
is a bad list and should be punished!

actually, the reason to comply with it is simply because they told you to.  
Then when they ask you why you didn't respond, you simply say "oh, you told 
me to destroy it"

I do!  You didn't destroy this message, I have already notified the 
authorities.

of course, with the use of cryptographic signing (such as PGP, S/MIME, etc) 
you can confirm if a message has not been modified (assuming the private key 
didn't get leaked, and used)
