Not sure of your point with this thread, but be assured that no-one with access to your e-mail address, whether through product purchase/registration or through registering/joining this site will on-sell or in any way communicate your address to any third party.
We police personal attack/abuse in any/every form, as we respect the community that this site has generated.
A company with a Commercial stake in the success/reputation/viability of a site as large and popular as this is not going to shoot itself in the foot by unlawful/illegal practise.
Legally, Companies cannot 'tell you to pay for something', but they can engage a criminal/legal/justice system to 'tell you to pay'.....or they can just deny you access to their product/service for non-payment...

No one is interested in your email address, Malikai.
And no one around here is telling you you have to buy anything.

Malikai: If you don't want spam, don't post your addy.
If you leave it visible at *any* site, you are gonna get spam, for the same reason Google finds yer pr0n fer ya. I'm sure this isn't the only site you are registered to.
A piss-poor programmer can write a script to glean user e-mail addresses if he has a reasonable familiarity with how a site works. Your name is a link, the link leads to your user page, and the email is in the same spot every time.
You want spam? Go register a domain or two with your email addy.

What company has sold your email address to another company and what evidence do you have that this is so?
