Unless hacked or stolen, buying an email database is legal, but what you then do with it may not be!

it's a vague question, like they say, it depends on how its acquired and what you do with it! Generally, the most kosher thing are contacts who OPT in to your email list.. but hey, this is BLACK HAT WORLD ;)

the guy hasnt been back in 4 months. this thread is likely dead.
 
In some countries, such as the European Union, it is illegal to buy or sell email lists without the express consent of the email addresses' owners.
 
Depending on where you live it could be, what we call in the professional industry as, turbo illegal. Honestly, acquisition is as illegal as selling it. On top of how difficult it is to get in the first place (usually from hacker leaks or mishandling by corporations, etc.) it's pretty unrecommended.
