What is the story with spam/non-spam?
Everyone seems to think that e-mail is not spam if:
* there's a pre-existing business relationship
* an opt-out is provided
Whereas the CAN-SPAM act says its not spam if:
(text from www.spamlaws.com")
* False and misleading header information is banned
* Deceptive subject lines are prohibited -
* Opt-out methods must be provided -
* Commercial email must be identified as an advertisement and it
must include the sender's valid physical postal address
* Receivers must be warned of sexually explicit material
Is it just that there is "illegal spam" and "bad-behavior spam"?
If I start a bed-and-breakfast directory and send an email to every
B&B whose address I can find, am I acting unethically?
How about if I sell widgets and buy a list of potential customers for
an e-mailing?
Comments and opinions welcome
