LOL

I know most sites sell their email addresses, but this is actually the first 'Terms and Conditions' I've read for a while and found it funny that they had it worded this way.

What other sensible way could they word it?

Most adult sites that collect emails have this in their TOS.

Correct. There should be a way to opt in or out of this though.

I have an email address that I only use when I sign up for a new sponsor. I get TONS of spam to that email account. Not just content and other sponsors wich I would expect but to porn sites in general. Do people really think that an adult webmaster is going to buy a membership to a porn site? From spam???

Not giving them your email address is opting out.

I signed up with those mother-fuckers a while back but used a free e-mail account and got so much spam that I wrote them back asking them to stop sending me there bull shit but they never did stop.

I wouldn't deal with those fuckers if I where you!

I don't think they care who they send their spam to. I don't think kids will buy porn memberships either, but they get the spam too.
