Moby Automatically Enrolls Hate Mailers Into Fan Club
from the email-revenge dept
Music star Moby apparently got annoyed that his personal email address was published somewhere and he started getting hate emails. So, to get people back, he changed to a new email address and made sure that everyone who sent email to his old email address was automatically enrolled in his fan club. Then, of course, some of the hate mailers got angry, which Moby finds funny. Not that I feel that folks emailing hate messages deserve very much, but I wonder if Moby could then be accused of spamming for signing people up without their permission?
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
