We can discuss definitions all day long, it won't make too much difference.

When OP asked about "email spam traffic", he meant unsolicited, non CAN-SPAM complaint mailing, which is not legal, therefore not allowed with the vast majority of offers, hence he's asking. That's what spamming means and always meant on a blackhat internet marketing forum. The kind of mailing, which can get you in trouble with the network, with the law or with both.
The public mailing section was removed from BHW long time ago for a reason...

What you were doing is not spamming, it's CAN-SPAM complaint bulk email marketing, which is perfectly legal.

The main issue is that definitions are getting mixed not just in your head, but in that quote from the court you posted too. They use the term "spam" as a synonym of commercial email and bulk messaging, which is obviously not right. Not too big of a surprise, courts often doesn't have too much clue about things related to the internet. Spam is the type of bulk mailing, which is illegal. Bulk mailing is a broader term and there's a legal part of it and that's exactly what you were doing, but that's not spamming.

And we're back to square one, that your definiton of spam is wrong. Saying that spamming is legal is a bad advice and will only make OP lose his earnings or his account on the network.

CAN-SPAM compliant bulk mailing is legal, spamming is not.

The first result that pops up in google "
Whether a message is spam does not answer whether it is illegal. In fact, SPAM IS LEGAL in the United States. That is, whether your email is solicited or unsolicited, and whether it is highly targeted or not, have nothing to do with legality under U.S. law.May 19, 2020"

L o fn L. You should read it again if you think that is the only violation. What are you talking about spam or not? Spoofing headers period violates. Like I said if you think that's the only violation lol.
 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAN-SPAM_Act_of_2003

Criminal offenses​

Although according to the law, legitimate businesses and marketers should be conscientious regarding the aspects mentioned above, there are misinterpretations and fraudulent practices that are viewed as criminal offenses:


  • Sending multiple spam emails with the use of a hijacked computer
  • Sending multiple emails through Internet Protocol addresses that the sender represents falsely as being his/her property
  • Trying to disguise the source of the email and to deceive recipients regarding the origins of the emails, by routing them through other computers
  • Sending multiple spam emails via multiple mailings with falsified information in the header
  • Using various email accounts obtained by falsifying account registration information, in order to send multiple spam emails.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAN-SPAM_Act_of_2003#cite_note-Presti_and_Naegele_Newsletter-19


    I haven't heard of anyone in years getting jail time for blasting out spam emails. Last person I can think of is Robert Soloway.

No one has ever gone to jail for sending spam, or fined for sending spam. They were either sending email (it doesn't matter if it is spam or not spam) with False/deceptive headers and committing fraud or were sending emails without a method to "opt-out". There is no requirement that you need to get someones permission to email to them. There is no "opt-in" requirement under US law or CAN-SPAM. Because there is no law that says you can't send unsolicited commercial email it is therefore LEGAL to do as long as you comply with CAN-SPAM. I noticed you were not able to find the law that says spam is illegal, so just give it up and stop spreading mis-information/anti-spam propaganda.

There are plenty of major networks that will accept spam as long as you follow the law. I've been mailing for over 12 years and have earned millions per year in affiliate commission via bulk emailing. As long as you comply with the CAN-SPAM act (no deceptive headers/allow people to opt out) you will be fine.

The can-spam act is often referred to as the "You Can-Spam Act". Why? because it does not prohibit spam, in fact it makes it legal.

The backronym CAN-SPAM derives from the bill's full name: Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography And Marketing Act of 2003.

Just because it says the word CAN in the act doesn't mean spam is legal lol. It plays on the word "canning" (putting an end to) spam

@bizzybutt you must live in another world :weep:

I'm sure this gal bizzybut isn't making anything from spamming she once made a claim that they made $100k in a month from mailing. When asked to back it up with proof they dropped the ball and didn't back up anything. Seeing their ignorance about the can spam act just confirms even more they aren't too bright.
 
Sure they are a lot of service providers that allow bulk email sending.
But I recommend cleaning up the database first or doing a small test to check if the email exists.

The market for mass spam emails is getting smaller and smaller now, as fewer people check their mailboxes.

United States set to Legalize Spamming on January 1, 2004
https://www.spamhaus.org/news/article/150/united-states-set-to-legalize-spamming-on-january-1-2004
It prevents states from outlawing spam because the federal law supersedes any attempted state regulations. Retain any spam laywer and have them explain the law to you. Although I doubt you'd be able to afford that.

But is Spam Legal?​

Spam refers to those impersonal solicitations for pharmaceuticals, weight loss products, or investment opportunities. Every one of us has found them in our inboxes, or more likely our spam folders.

Whether a message is spam does not answer whether it is illegal. In fact, SPAM IS LEGAL in the United States. That is, whether your email is solicited or unsolicited, and whether it is highly targeted or not, have nothing to do with legality under U.S. law.

The name of the relevant statute says it all: the (you) CAN SPAM (Act).

This often surprises people. So to reiterate: It is legal in the U.S. to send an unsolicited commercial email.

You do, however, have to comply with certain rules when sending those unsolicited emails, and if you don’t, https://blog.marketo.com/2016/07/do-you-need-to-worry-about-can-spam-lawsuits.html. Follow these five simple guidelines, and stay on the right side of the CAN-SPAM Act."
 
  • Sending multiple spam emails with the use of a hijacked computer
  • Sending multiple emails through Internet Protocol addresses that the sender represents falsely as being his/her property
  • Trying to disguise the source of the email and to deceive recipients regarding the origins of the emails, by routing them through other computers
  • Sending multiple spam emails via multiple mailings with falsified information in the header
  • Using various email accounts obtained by falsifying account registration information, in order to send multiple spam emails.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAN-SPAM_Act_of_2003#cite_note-Presti_and_Naegele_Newsletter-19

    All that above is ways of sending spam and it's not legal man
 
EXACTLY. THANK YOU FOR ADMITTING THAT YOU AGREE WITH ME. SPAM IS LEGAL AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOW CERTAIN RULES... DING DING DING. JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER INDUSTRY IN THE WORLD, IT IS REGULATED.

What you mentioned were ways to send ILLEGAL commercial email, which applies to both Spam AND Optin Email. SPAM is a general term, defined under US law as simply Unsolicited Commercial Email, which is not outlawed or banned in the United States. If you Send Optin Email - NOT SPAM- with False header information, Guess what, that would make your Optin Email -Not Spam (remember)- ILLEGAL.
 
Those methods are ways to send spam and will never be legal. I could be mailing to an opt in list or just a scraped list it will always be spam. I could use an opt out link and a physical mail address and still use those same methods to send mail and it's spam. so spam is illegal bro it's not legal OK?
 
Being Can Spam Compliant is Legal Spamming is not legal damn man.
 
Except that is not the Legal definition of "Spam". You've thrust yourself into a legal discussion knowing nothing about the law. Instead you've chosen to make up your own definition for some odd reason. I guess to try and save face so you don't look like an idiot. However, you are providing a disservice to the people here and the originator of this thread.

The Legal definition of Spam has only to with Permissions of the recipient, unsolicited = "Spam"... which is legal in USA

So once and for all... Under the Law, and in numerous court filings and rulings the definition of the word "Spam", and the fact that it is not outlawed:

Shortly after California adopted Senate Bill 186, Congress enacted the CAN-SPAM Act, which, like Senate Bill 186, was passed "in response to mounting concerns associated with the rapid growth of spam e-mails." ( Virtumundo, supra, https://casetext.com/case/gordon-v-virtumundo#p1047.) The Act does "not ban spam outright, but rather provides a code of conduct to regulate commercial e-mail messaging practices.
Hypertouch, Inc. v. ValueClick, Inc., 192 Cal.App.4th 805, 823 (Cal. Ct. App. 2011)

The CAN–SPAM Act "does not ban spam outright, but rather provides a code of conduct to regulate commercial e-mail messaging practices." Gordon v. Virtumundo, Inc. , https://casetext.com/case/gordon-v-virtumundo#p1047 (9th Cir. 2009). To prove a violation of the statute, Facebook cannot simply identify excessive electronic messages. Rather, assuming all facts in favor of the non-moving party, the offending messages must be "materially false" or "materially misleading." https://casetext.com/statute/united-states-code/title-15-commerce-and-trade/chapter-103-controlling-the-assault-of-non-solicited-pornography-and-marketing/section-7704-other-protections-for-users-of-commercial-electronic-mail.
Facebook, Inc. v. Power Ventures, Inc., 844 F.3d 1058, 1064 (9th Cir. 2016)

“Unsolicited commercial email (or "spam") is governed by Section 17529.5 of the https://casetext.com/statute/california-codes/california-business-and-professions-code/division-7-general-business-regulations/part-3-representations-to-the-public/chapter-1-advertising/article-16-cyber-piracy/section-175295-unlawful-advertising-in-commercial-email-advertisement” Asis Internet Services v. Vistaprint USA, Inc., 617 F. Supp. 2d 989, 991 (N.D. Cal. 2009)

If you disagree, please post some actual Law or Case Law or a Legal ruling that defines "Spam" your way.
