TWO years? Please check up on some current events in this area; a LOT
has changed, especially in the last two years. But not scraping
addresses; it's still very common.
One positive thing that has happened, is ISPs have become much
better at protecting their clients inboxes. Mine does a stellar job. But
the scraping continues unabated.
And once an address makes it to a CD, it's there for a good, long
time and the list will be sold, added to, sold again, ad-infinitum.
