Lets say I have 400 AVS sites, and inside my members area I decide to have a newsletter. Ok so far right?

Now it's 4 years later, I have a very large email database and I decide to sell my list.

Is this lawsuit trying to say the onus is on ME, the seller, to determine whether or not the email database will be used legally?

Whats the slippery slope that could come out of this? Anything?

Last I knew, if someone "harvested" by means of script or voluntary collection box, it's not illegal. And selling the data is not illegal. So is buying a list illegal? I dont think so. Is emailing to a bought list illegal? Not that I've ever heard. *

So I think the bottom line from the article once you read it fully, is that they have identified some specific people and linked them to some specific "spammers", but it doesnt seem like it has precedent setting potential without some new laws.


*if compliant with can-spam obviously
