    No, there’s a really huge difference between e-mail marketing and spam.

    From Wikipedia:

    Spamming is the use of messaging systems to send multiple unsolicited messages (spam) to large numbers of recipients for the purpose of commercial advertising.

    So yeah, what you described is spam by definition.

      No, the difference i have noted is solicited vs unsolicited. If you sign up for something it is solicited as based on the definition of the word. Deciding you no longer wish to receive it is different than if you never signed up in the first place. Amazing how confused people are about this.
