This article is also factually wrong when it comes to the US. It is NOT illegal to send unsolicited email according to CAN-SPAM. All you are required to do is honor unsubscribes and provide contact info.
Also, if customers are already on your list, they've implicitly open in to receive transactional and commercial emails. You may get in trouble with your ISP or anti-spam authorities, but unless you're blasting out millions of spam emails without any way to unsubscribe, you will never get in trouble with the law.
- nostromo 16y agoCorrect. But to be fair, it's a Canadian domain, and the article linked to a report on the Canadian equivalent of Can-Spam.
- peteforde 16y agoIt's factually wrong for any country that isn't Canada. I'm Canadian, but thanks for stopping by!
- aaronbrethorst 16y agoWait, wasn't Canada admitted to the Union in January 1959?</joke> edit: I should mention that I'm Minnesotan, I am routinely mistaken for a Canadian (much to real Canadians' frustration), I dearly love Arcade Fire and Tim Horton's Timbits, and I have a bad tendency of ending sentences with the word "eh," eh?
- autarch 16y agoI live in Minnesota, and I have high hopes that in the future Minnesota will secede from the US and become part of Canada.
