@gscheiman >> @RetailEmailBlog Acc to CAN-SPAM, you can email anyone until they opt-out. Issue is customer respect, not legal right.

@RetailEmailBlog >> @gscheiman It's not illegal to email customers without permission. But "report spam" button holds companies to higher standard.

@gscheiman >> @RetailEmailBlog Not until/unless they get caught. And there are all sorts of tricks to run away. I don't like it, but it's reality. You ...

@gscheiman >> @RetailEmailBlog You are right though.

@RetailEmailBlog >> @gscheiman Honestly, I think changing consumer expectations and ISPs have rendered CAN-SPAM's "prior business relationship" clause moot.

@Steve_Hamilton >> RT @RetailEmailBlog It's not illegal to email customers without permission. But "report spam" button holds companies to higher standard.

@EmailKarma >> @gscheiman @RetailEmailBlog - sure opt-out is allowed under CAN-SPAM - Harvesting email however is not. Its the Low Bar - Aim higher

@wise_laura >> @EmailKarma PHP is wrong in their reading of the law. Harvesting is not in and of itself a violation of can spam.
