Huh? I am very familiar with Habeas' business model and legal theory
regarding "sender-warranted email"(tm?) and the embedded haiku and all
that. But what does that have to do with the completely unrelated
issue of the buying and selling of mailing list data? The haiku
copyright and any user agreements/licenses (which allow you to produce
compliant messages which will theoretically not be marked as spam) are
not involved there.
I asked for a legal theory that would permit someone to collect damages
for obtaining and selling a mailing list. Completely different issues
here.
