Contrary to what an earlier reply you posted suggested, Section 5(a)4 of the
new law explicitly prohibits (among other things)
selling/leasing/exchanging/giving an email address away if that recipient
has opted-out.

Isn't it ironic that now our email addresses now have more privacy protections than our social security and driver license numbers?
