Well I've finally snapped.
After three years of receiving Microsoft marketing email from QUT, I've finally told them that they are infact breaking the law.

Over here it is illegal to send:

  • Unsolicited commercial email with a Australian link
  • Commercial email without a unsubscribe link (including solicited email)

The law also has a few other points. QUT was breaking those two.

The email in question was for a $75 copy of Office 2007 Ultimate, RRP of $1150.
Marketing crap straight from Microsoft about their 'Its Not Cheating' campaign.
I did not ask for the email nor did it allow me to unsubscribe.

Lets see where this goes. :)
