And now to throw a virtual wrench into the works...
What about if a company purchases a list of email addresses and uses that
"supposed" permission based list to send out an email marketing campaign...
is it spam?
What if the list was not permission based and the company who sold the list
lied? Whom do we hold accountable?
Just got an email offering me 25 million email addresses for marketing for
only $99. Im sure this is not a permission based list or an opt in list.
So if i were to use this to market and be accused of spam, as an
intellegent person I would be hard pressed to say I honestly believed that
I was not spamming, but what if the list was 5000 names for $99.00. Those
rates sound more like the rates for opt in or permission based lists. But
who knows for sure....
Just food for thought and debate...
