How come your initial post makes a leap right from things like TGPing etc to "spamming"? It's like saying "I'm not making enough money working 40 hours a week, so I think I'll try bank robbing, what do you guys think?"

You skipped the most obvious answer of perfectly legal and legitimate email marketing.

The line between marketing and spamming is VERY oddly blurred here, right in the heart of the industry. It's very very strange to see such a misconception by the supposed experts.. very very strange indeed.

People do know that email marketing isn't automatically "spam", don't they? One is legal, the other is not. The differences are super clear. No fake headers, no spoofed IP's, physical address and phone number and functioning opt-out link. The sexually-explicit tag if your email contains such images. All simple for a legimate business to have in place.

So why jump to the illegal way before trying the right way?

Simple damn question.
