[CS-FSLUG] [OT] Fwd: Product Registration Confirmation = Permission to spam

[Nathan T.]

Just thought I'd put a little heads up out there for you folks.  
Roxio's registration process doesn't clearly say anything about  
allowing correspondence by e-mail, especially spam. It looks like I  
have to click the link they included to confirm the address works, so  
I won't be doing that; however, I find it just disgusting that after  
paying for a product, they force the registration dialog on me  
without any way to skip it *after* I get to the point where I can no  
longer legally return the software, and to top if off I find out the  
next morning that something in their fine-print or legal-speak gave  
them permission to spam me.

Sometimes I miss Linux.
