    Not legal. You could complain if you can be bothered. I suppose even Test-Aankoop would like that

    Illegal in entire EU. Explicit opt-in is necessary.

    On the upside, I sometimes manage to get settlement money trolling companies into sending me spam and then threatening I'll write a complaint to the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection.

    On the downside, I have no idea how to tax this properly. I probably overpay.
