A couple of days ago I received an email from a friend - actually it was from reunion.com saying that my friend was looking for me.  I thought it was quite odd since I actually talk to this friend from time to time.  I figured it was just another spammer spoofing an address . . . or something.  Little did I know that reunion most likely actually sent my friend an email saying that someone was looking for her, asked for her email information purportedly in order to allow her to access her message (from her friend) and then sent out a blast email to everyone in her address book. 

Consumerist has a link to this LAT article which provides all of the gory details.

Reunion's practices raise a variety of issues on the legal side:

• CAN-SPAM
• state spam laws
• Computer Fraud and Abuse Act?
• Consumer Protection Laws (FTC-type statutes)

I'm not where to begin, but if the article and what's out there are accurate, reunion may want to consider changing their practices asap.
