or to give an example that is very current:

when i purchased my Handspring Visor, i decided to let them send me their
newsletter. this is a case where i clearly consented to receive their marketing
info.

Hanspring recently merged with Palm. fortunately, they did a good job of letting
folks know, so i was not suprised when i started getting the Palm equivalent
of the old Handspring newsletter, but if i'd been asleep at the switch, or if they'd
done a lesser job of notification, i might think think otherwise.
