Spamming is not illegal. That is the biggest lie out there, actually. You just have to adhere to some specific requirements when sending unsolicited email.
Also, spamming may be against many company's TOS but that does not make it illegal.
Go read the CAN-SPAM Act.
- chubot 15y agoWhatever, that's splitting hairs and not relevant to the main point. If someone is writing a program to send out unsolicited e-mails on behalf of other parties, it's pretty unlikely that they're doing the due diligence. I don't know what happened but I think it's funny that all the responses are "Aaron Greenspan is a whiny loser". Also, I don't read any company's TOS when deciding whether to do business with them. Do you? I go by their reputation. If a company has a bad reputation then it makes me less likely to do business with them.
- badclient 15y agoIf a company has a bad reputation then it makes me less likely to do business with them. Except if I read a bad review about a company from someone who has a record of bad experiences with companies, I do not take that person's review into account and discard it as an outlier. Aaron Greenspan has a pretty solid history of being that guy who has a problem with almost everyone of stature that he has come to know.
- haliax 15y agoIT was pretty clear from the story about AirBNB spam that they did not adhere to those requirements, in any way.
