Client wishes for me to remove the double-opt-in confirmation step of signing up to an email newsletter. The signup form is on the homepage. It requests only name and email. If the confirmation step (usual click link in email) is removed, anybody can sign anybody up.
In advising the client against this, from a legal standpoint, does anybody have any idea if the Unsolicited Electronic Message act prohibits this? I thought it did, but a quick skim and I can't see it specifically laid out.
