Defining "advertising" isn't as obvious as it sounds. If one asks for the sale, that's obviously advertising. However, if someone writes me an e-mail asking me if I could use a graphic artist (without explicitly offering to do it for me) it might result in a sale, but is it advertising? And if a friend is down on his luck and wants to offer (in an e-mail) to wash my windows for some quick cash, is he breaking the law if he doesn't label it "ADVT"? (Obviously, I wouldn't turn a friend in, but shouldn't he be able to make this offer without breaking the law AND without having to make his e-mail look like a spam?)
