Large, well-known, reputable companies have inappropriately put Roaring Penguin employees on marketing lists in the past. I consider that to be spamming: Just because we do business with a company doesn't necessarily imply consent to be marketed to. It is true that they did remove us from their lists when we went through the unsubscribe process, but it's also true that they were rather loose with what they considered to be consent for the initial sign-up. > But you still have to consider point 1.
