Giving them your real address is optional.  You didn't
have to give it .  I have been using yahoo for over a
year and they filter 99% of SPAM to my bulk folder
automatically and since I didn't give them my home
e-mail, I am not receiving SPAM there at all.  Also on
the screen where you register you could have opted out
to receive marketing (SPAM) e-mail.

You gave them your e-mail which was optional and you
didn't deselect the option not to receive "marketing".
You can't blame yahoo for something you had full
control over.
