You're not very bright if you can't see that sending out emails unrelated to their program in an attempt to make a few bucks is spamming. At no time did I agree to accept spam.
Oh, and when I clicked the unsubscribe link in their email, this is what I got: "Sorry, we could not find your information in our database." If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it's a duck.

these are different issues.. my point is, and still remains, if in their terms and conditions they said "by signing up, you agree to receive promotions/ads/ whatever from us", then they didnt spam you, you NEED to read the terms before you signup to something..
And like i said before, if i have a shoe site, and collect emails, and in the terms state that i will send you ads i see fit, then if tomorrow i send you emails for a new bestbuy laptop promotion, it IS NOT SPAM, you agreed to it.. pfft..
and the unsubscribe thing, well yeah thats fucked, they are wrong there..
but like i said, and will keep saying for you silly people out there, if you SIGNUP AND PUT YOUR EMAIL ANYWHERE ONLINE, and in the terms it says they can email you for anything, THEN WHEN THEY DO DONT FUCKING complain.. i wish more people read terms and conditions..
youd be surprised how many people dont even read the basic RECURRING TERMS when they join websites.. they see a charge 30 days later then call and bitch and say its a scam, fraud, when they fucking agreed to be charged..
if you fail to read the terms before joining an affiliate program, then its your fault... the terms are there to be read, and nobody reads em, but dont complain when they do shit in THEIR T&C
