Why is usenet spaming illegal ?

Why is spamming newsgroups banned by most sponsors?
Why can't I go there and post a link to www.my-domain.com and tell them to visit my site for "hot nude teens" ( or whatever ).

I mean, why is this considered spamming?
I agree that mailbox spamming is really annoying and time and $$ consuming...but why are newsgroups banned, too?

If someone goes to alt.sex.pictures ( or somethinbg similar ), he is looking for sex pics, right?
So why should someone ban me, if I decide to post a link to my free site or tgp on that newsgroup.

This is a serious question, since I completely cannot think of a reasonable answer
