To me, it seems to be a breach of conduct for a company to use a mailing list that is not thier own as a mass mailing technique. Again, these are only my personal opinions.
It's called 'whoring' (for money, i.e. prostitution). In case you haven't noticed, the InterNet is the new 'Gold Rush'. Every hustler and kook from here (wherever 'this' is) to Butt Fuck, Montana, is jumping on the 'Information Highway' to get their piece of the action. The whores don't just include the "Make $$$Money$$$ Fast" spammers. The Big Boys with the Big Toys want to make sure that our personal information and Web History is available for them to try to squeeze every possible penny out of our pockets. With the 'wonder of modern technology' at their fingertips, however, the 'common man/woman' can also avail themselves of the plethora of information lying within reach of their sticky little fingers. Big Brother wants to know everything about everybody, and if the average user gets tired of Little Brother getting ahold of the information, then I am sure that Big Brother will come to our rescue, passing laws and instituting regualtions that 'save' us by ensuring that only Big Brother knows all.
