Softpedia qualifies in this definition.
I suspect that they would claim that the purpose of the email is only to
afford you the opportunity to correct the info. I have no idea if they
really would make a change. In any case, by your definition, the
unsolicited email would not be spam if the *site* did not have ads.
Would you then not mind them?
If one uploads often, I see how the 'curtesy' letter could be annoying.
Yes that what happens to me. But well I am just going to drop it, it
seems that I am
alone thinking this should be prevented, and that Softpedia is a spammer :)
I think they are on the border, perhaps cleverly so, perhaps too
cleverly. You could respond and say the writeup is ok, but that you
frequently upload revisions and detest getting a notification each time
they grab one and would they please put you on a list of authors not to
email again.
