"Spam. Don't Buy It." December 3, 2003 - Tucson, AZ - A national anti-spam public education effort was launched today by permission email pioneer Mike Adams. The "Spam. Don't Buy It." campaign (www.SpamDontBuyIt.org) works to educate Internet users on the importance of engaging in transactions only with those businesses and organizations that adhere to permission email practices. "If you buy something from a spammer," Adams explains, "you are part of the problem." Every purchase made from a spam email, he says, bankrolls spammers with enough funds to email another million people. Adams' solution to the spam problem is regarded as a grassroots, free market approach. "Take the profit out of spam and spammers go away," he explains. "Only buy from companies that respect your privacy and email you with your permission, not from spammers who clog your inbox with irrelevant email." Spam. Don't Buy It. The slogan, "Spam. Don't Buy It." reminds users of the importance of recognizing their role in the economics of spam. Through this campaign, Adams hopes Internet users will think twice before purchasing products from spammers. "Many Internet users are living a double standard," he says. "They're screaming at spammers on one hand, but secretly purchasing from them on the other." This behavior creates precisely the financial incentives that keep spammers in business. How can an Internet user distinguish between spam and permission email? Adams offers the following guidelines for Internet users:

It generates no profits whatsoever and is fully dedicated to fighting spam. ### May be quoted or reprinted with proper attribution.
