well in all these 4 Free type programs the surfer is forced to read terms and conditions that includes information that by accepting the '4 Free' offer and filling out the survey that the surfer is allowing his email address to be used by the operators of the 4 free site and any partners they may have now or in the future.

if u read some of these T & C for these programs you will see that the surfer is giving them almost carte blanche.

so legally they really are covered. they can't be liable for any spamming liability by them or any partner they might rent the list to or whatever.

we all know that this goes on in mainstream much worse than adult. I am getting more spam from mainstream companies everyday and it's not all for bogus crap. I'm getting ads from big
Fortune 500 and established mainstream companies - usually sent out by some email promotion company. I've never opted in to any of these companies. But i have registered from time to time
with free email accounts, software demos etc. So everybody now is selling lists from the big mainstream boys like Yahoo to the little porn guy.

all i wanted to know is what do you think these adult companies are taking in on each double optin email on average.
If the email costs them $1.00 does that email bring in $2.00 in revenue for a 100% profit? less? more?
