Marketing List

That's a great question. I don't know the specifics but my understanding was that if you personally email it wasn't - I really don't know the specifics - if it is, I immediately retract that statement :-)

Looks like the law wasn't clear enough but case law has continually become stricter on the subject.

Good news is it works... Bad news it works so well it's not advisable :-)

I don think it is a violation. It is called CAN spam, you can, legally and from what I understand if the company publishes a website or has any of the emails in a public forum or directory etc you can scrape it and press send

that was my thought too but it looked like there were some lawsuits pending on the subject... but its again not perfectly clear whether they have a case.
