    Sex.com sells email addresses

    http://www.sex.com/corporate/tos_email.html

    "E-MAIL USE - As a Subscriber you authorize the Site and any of its affiliates or associates to use your valid e-mail address for any marketing purposes or any purposes in general. You also authorize the Site to transfer your email address to any person or company willing to acquire the valid e-mail address that was supplied to receive your free subscription."

    LOL

    I know most sites sell their email addresses, but this is actually the first 'Terms and Conditions' I've read for a while and found it funny that they had it worded this way.

      Most adult sites that collect emails have this in their TOS.

        Correct. There should be a way to opt in or out of this though.

          I have an email address that I only use when I sign up for a new sponsor. I get TONS of spam to that email account. Not just content and other sponsors wich I would expect but to porn sites in general. Do people really think that an adult webmaster is going to buy a membership to a porn site? From spam???

            Not giving them your email address is opting out.

              I signed up with those mother-fuckers a while back but used a free e-mail account and got so much spam that I wrote them back asking them to stop sending me there bull shit but they never did stop.

              I wouldn't deal with those fuckers if I where you!

                I don't think they care who they send their spam to. I don't think kids will buy porn memberships either, but they get the spam too.
