Jace, yes I know that, and my post was a hypothetical too just to clarify.
But the question was about selling the list, legallity of using a script to harvest emails, whether or not the onus is on the seller or the buyer or either and so on and so forth.
If someone can point me to the law that says "email harvesting" is illegal, that'd be nice. I don't think it is, and I wonder if this will simply be thrown out because they seem intent on setting precedent and making the courts essentially "legislate from the bench", instead of making a new law.
