Spammers Suing Spammers
from the we're-not-spammers dept
Virtumundo, a marketing company that has often been accused of being a spammer is trying to clean up its act and pass the blame while doing so. They're suing two companies that sold them "opt-in" email lists, saying that the lists weren't really opt-in. Of course, that doesn't explain what Virtumundo was doing buying lists in the first place. If they want a list, they should build their own damn opt-in system.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
