True. This is done by government departments in Australia. I went 
head on with one of the regulators about this who was sending out 
emails via a 3rd party without advising their newsletter subscribers. 
I asked when they had received my consent to give my address to 
anyone else and to be able to track my activities of clicking on 
their newsletter through that same outsourced company?

As a result, and many months of dogging them about it in a privacy 
panel meeting, they finally fessed up and put it on the website for 
new subscribers. Not sure they ever told the old ones, though.

Some people just don't get it that they can't do as they please.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
