How many times have you been at website and tried to download a file or view a news article only to be redircted to a page that says you must register/login to access that page? Only to get spammed from said sites? I know, more times than you can remember. Well this is a way to score a little vengeance. A certain file hosting/game browser(no names to protect the not so innocent) site that I had to register to dl a file, sent me 3 newsletters, each over 500k daily and emails from their 'partners'. I cancelled the account after this spam fest, but I wanted to do something other than just complain about their triple daily newsletter scam(they get that idea from you Zardon? j/k). So here is what I did. I went back to their website and starting collecting email addresses from there. I looked for as many as possible, sales@blank.com, marketing@blank.com, etc and all the employees as well. In the end I had 64 email addresses. Next I went to the form to register accounts and signed up using all 64 addresses, even asked for all the partners spam as well. So this is the affect, their server is now sending 64 daily newsletters to itself hopefully in triplicate, like i got. Hope they get the message that I didn't appreciate their crap

Well also one time, i signed up for something, or someone signed me up or something, so I took their email address and gave it to as many of those things as I could find.
