Good points. In the USA (where I reside) buying mailing lists is legal, and common industry practice.
I still say that bulk cold emailing is not neccesarily spam. It all depends on the value you are providing people.

- atleta 14y agoWhat you do is spam, by definition. If you're not a mind reader, you have no way of knowing what people want or will value by looking at their email addresses. If you are a mind reader OTOH, then please drop me a call at +36 20 ... oh, wait you already know it. :)

I just want to add for anyone in the US reading this that it isn't quite this clear cut, and you have to abide by various regulations when sending unsolicited bulk mail. If you aren't careful you could still end up in trouble. IANAL.
