I keep all email addys of all members past and present for our site. We are producing a video next month and my question is.If I write a former member of the site to inform them that this video is availible for purchase. Would that be spam ? and is there a way to get around it without pissing them off.

Hi Tony, I do mass opt in email marketing. A good question to ask in answering your question is What did you tell them when collecting the email? Do you have a privacy policy? Is this covered by the policy? How was the email collected? Was there a confirmation email that spells out your privacy policy?
