This isn't exactly ethical though, is it?

Sometimes, being vicious is necessary. That being said, never do anything illegal.

Most lead gen companies abuse rotating IPs and more to get databases of info.
"Hey Man, here's a gun. It can shoot a piece of metal so fast that it can kill someone instantly. That being said, never do anything illegal." Points for it being a well built tool but you're just loading scammers and spammers with more ammo. I can't think of any situation where I (or anyone else) would be pleased with the fact that I was subscribed to their list using a tool like this.

I don't necessarily care. Also, I didn't build the product. I've already come to understand in my short time in web that the internet is a gangster's paradise, sometimes you have to be a F****** mobster to get a product out there. Sometimes, it's necessary. Thank goodness Kalanick is die hard about getting Uber everywhere as it reduces total car count.
How you make money is more important than the money you make. That's all I can say man.

good list. I have a bunch here, too: bit.ly/saleshacking
great list
forgot scrapinghub.com from the creators of Scrapy :)
Kimono is going away! Was just acquired by Palantir.

"Remember that startup that died because it was scraping emails?" said no one ever.

I love this product. It's like a much cheaper version of emailhunter.co,clearbit.com, and fullcontact.com. $0.04/hr and $5 per a project. That's sooo cheapp.
how have the results been for you and how long do your campaigns normally take. i like the interface and idea but didn't have a great experience from running 2 campaigns.
I'm sure there's some legitimate applications, but it seems like this is exactly what the email harvesting portions of Can-Spam identify as illegal, right? or is there something I'm missing?
No, you are 100% correct. If using this for mass email (in Canada) you will find yourself in court, the way Porter Airlines did, to the tune of a $150,000 fine.
I agree with the comments regarding the CAN-SPAM act. Assuming ethical concerns are addressed, it would be nice to collect the associated name and title too.
can spam in the US applies to consumer addresses. Cold emailing a business regarding a business concern is excluded from the provisions. It is unlikely that anyone would be using this for a B2C context. B2B, totally legal and kosher :-)

BOOM. Thank you Justin.
I'm all about building up my email list but, at first glance, this method seems a bit unethical and possibly illegal. I'm I missing something?
great product, this came to me a couple days ago.. perfect timing as kimonolabs.com is closing. let me tell you something, if youre not scraping data and using it to create hyper targeted marketing campaigns, youre gonna get left in the dust..
Great to get your first email list up for a new market.
This looks really cool, but are you seriously asking for my VAT ID number at sign up?
