On the consent side of things, I'm thinking about the realtor example, because I think that is a relative example and may be a legitimate concern for some folks.
To clarify--and maybe you can give me your understanding of this--if a realtor asks a friend for a list of ten e-mail addresses of that guy's friends that he can e-mail looking for a potential client, sending out an e-mail like that would be restricted under the legislation.
If two friends are talking, and one of them says they're in the market for a house and is looking for a realtor, and the second friend passes that e-mail address on to the realtor with the consent of their friend after asking if it's all right to pass it on and have the realtor send an e-mail or phone them, then that would be exempt under the legislation. That would be expressed consent. Even though it's not directly expressed to the realtor, it's still expressed consent via the friend.
