I don't see any legal problems at all. After all, this use of database technology is exactly the same technology that the junk mailers are using to target consumers. I also wouldn't be too surprised to find out the zabasearch.com is buying much of their data from credit card marketing databases. How else is Zaba getting people's birth months and years? I do expect many CEO's will find this unsubscribe method a bit disturbing. But of course they are in the business of creating and supporting the databases that makes this unsubscribe method possible. It also will be a bit difficult for them to complain about the bounced mail coming to their homes after all the mail they've sent to our homes.

Here's another approach for dealing with junk mail. I just received a credit card offer in the mail from Capital One. I could return the junk mail piece to this guy and ask him to remove my name for Capital One's database: RICHARD D FAIRBANK 442 MAGOTHY RD GIBSON ISLAND, MD (410) 360-6090 Mr. Fairbank is the CEO of Capital One. Zabasearch.com and Google both give the same home address in Gibson Island. Perhaps someone could set up a Web site which provides the verified home addresses of the CEO's and other executives of the top 100 junk mailers so that we can all ask directly to be removed from their databases.
