[Equest-users] getting spammed by energy-models.com

[Christian Stalberg]

As far back as Spring 2012 energy-models was downloading and republishing
the onebuilding.org mailing lists including capturing poster's email
addresses. Jason Glazer who administers the onebuilding.org email lists can
corroborate this fact. The owner of energy-models.com was notified by me and
Jason that what he was doing was unauthorized and in fact could be illegal.
I personally told him to cease and desist the republishing of my postings
informing them that under Section 106 of the Copyright Act with regard to
exclusive rights he were breaking the law. I then got busy and did not
follow up. Now however they are using the harvested email addresses to
regularly spam me, so the issue has resurfaced.

I didn't see anything come through the eQuest users-list-therefore this
company hasn't violated any participating rules of the users list, but I did
get the email you are referencing...however my email wasn't "harvested" from
the eQuest users list---I have knowingly included my email for their news
and info distribution.

 

It's presumptuous to say that energy-models.com has illegally harvested
email addresses from the eQuest users list.. be careful of the accusations
you are insinuating.  

 

By the way, if you don't like getting emails from them--you have the option
to "unsubscribe" your email address from their mailings, just like other
mass emails...

Is anyone else on the equest-users list getting spammed by energy-models.com
from a third party email company?

 

The mass email company energy-models.com has contracted with is Vertical
Response (vresp.com) based in San Francisco, California. They have an
anti-SPAM policy which includes using harvested email addresses which you
can read at http://www.verticalresponse.com/about/tos_anti-spam.html .
