OT pinching and re-using data of the net

True. Unless you're Chinese, and your subject is Free Tibet.[1]

False. http://www.out-law.com/page-6503


[1] Snopes will probably disagree, but I CBA to look.

 

No? I would have thought you'd relish the thought of winding him up and
making his life a misery.

You're getting too damn wishy-washy, touchy-feely these days.[/QUOTE]

Put it this way - if you were doing darsy's job and were as busy as him
would you really, really want to waste so much time and effort on a
pretty serious procedure against loony chops? No I didn't think you
would.

I suspect nasty stealth tactics are in deployment mode.

not my style. I have, however, suggested to the IWF that someone with
a big hang up about dogging, Michael Jackson, and accusing someone
else of being a paedophile might have some "projection" issues.

 

You don't.

The other side is that darsy is known to the majority of folk on
usenet as "darsy" not his real name.

Were he to go all legal, he'd have his name and "paedophile" appearing
on the same page in the local newspaper, and I'm not entirely sure
that is his idea of a fun day out.

After all, who is "darsy"? Okay, "Madonna" or "Gazza" or "Posh Spice"
might win a case based on their nickname being defamed, but a
non-entity like darsy wouldn't stand a cat in hell's chance, I reckon.

Wouldn't really be fair on the residents of
3, Enfield Gardens, Westmoor, would it?

It's not. There are areas that are very clear-cut. Grey areas do exist,
though.

 

Thought that might be the case. Can't be arsed to go look it up, though.

So if I just typed the names and addresses of *all* the LA's in England
and Wales (gathered from a paper Municipal Yearbook) say in to a
database then did an email merge message your saying that would be also
be *illegal*?

Spam it might well be. In the case outlined (selected addresses) it
would certainly be targeted advertising. If on paper it would be junk
mail. But can a Local Authority subscribe to the mailing preference
service?

Targeted schmargeted, spam is spam. End of story.

 

Is that across the road, or next door?

 

You tell him, 'cos I've given up trying to penetrate his cerebellum.

I have my moments. I just wish I had more of them.

No, you are not. So you accept that a general mail shot to public bodies
either by email or post is not illegal ?

OK. Interestingly, when I did a postal mail shot to all the LA's in
England & Wales some 15 years ago they didn't seem to mind, and in fact
40 of them purchased the software advertised.

"Sorry dear - spam's off."

I would never spam individuals, but I can't see the problem in direct
marketing to public organisations. Is your objection only to email or do
think unsolicited snail mail making large organisations aware of new
products should be also outlawed?

I typed your saying instead of you're saying. I'll go to the bottom of
the class then.

Any answer to my last question - Is your objection only to email or do
think unsolicited snail mail making large organisations aware of new
products should be also outlawed?
