[Gllug] EU Data privacy questionnaire

[Stig Brautaset]

* John Southern <john at sinoda.demon.co.uk> spake thus:
> Could we not all spend some time spamming the MEP's with junk offers until 
> they realise how horrid this is.
> The company a few desks down from me is a spamming company. They buy in email 
> addresses. These start at about £5K for 500K localised users. For a small 
> increase £500 they get an extra 1M users and so on. The collection services 
> are very agressive and lots of guarantees of emails being used this week 
> rather than old data. Couple of months back most of the harvesters were from 
> China. This month they appear to be Polish. It seems to move around countries 
> as an industry rather than just new ones appearing.
> For me at the moment they are just an irritation. Does anyone pay for every 
> email receipt say for example by using Orange to a Nokia phone and if so how 
> do they cope?
> 
> And as for the spamming company - guess I will get shouted at on Monday when 
> they realize I have just broke their connection. One small Cat5e cable, one 
> small act of rebellion - every little helps.

Good for you. I'm a student and of limited funding, but for that I'll
buy you a beer next Lonix.
