I particularly like this from the release notes:
"Email marketing is not spam when it is from a trusted source, offers a
legitimate opt-out mechanism and is CAN-SPAM compliant."
Yeah, that was written by a spammer if I've ever seen it. Better yet is a
little further down:
"The services require that you gain your customers permission. This can be
achieved by:
* Explicit permission: Opt-in from your website, "join our mailing
list link, during an online purchase, storefront, in-person forms, etc.
* Implicit permission: Requests for information / registration forms,
existing customer relationship
Please Note: Always make sure to ask for permission to add your customer
to your list when collecting information from registration forms,
tradeshows, etc."
So, first you say that you need explicit or implicit permission, then you
say "but please get explicit permission". Which one is it? Make up your
minds.
Tucows: This is a terrible move. Please kill this before you lose
whatever credibility you still have left. This is spam, plain and simple,
I don't care how many rationalizations you're making, and you're going to
wind up getting a big black mark against your name, and the names of
everyone who does business with you, for a very long time, in a very large
number of people's minds.
