You should realize that any time you fill out a form on a web page that asks for your email address, you're going to receive email from whoever owns that form, and you can be certain that they're going to try to SELL you something! That's what companies DO. It's how they get the money to PAY the developers who create the software that they sometimes give away at no charge! Spam is UNSOLICITED email, which means the sender never got permission from you to send you email. If you don't want to receive email from a company, DON'T FILL OUT THEIR FORM! If that means you won't get their "freebie," then so be it! But DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT "SPAM" EMAILS FROM PEOPLE THAT YOU GAVE PERMISSION TO SEND YOU EMAIL IN THE FIRST PLACE! On the same note to people who complain about repeatedly getting "spam" from the same company (Ashampoo seems to be accused of this, and I will admit that their email marketing is pretty aggressive - perhaps TOO aggressive since there seem to be regular complaints here about it): Have you ever tried clicking on the "unsubscribe" link that's always at the bottom of each and every one of those emails? If not, you might want to give it a try! If you've done that and they still send you emails after you've told them to stop, then you still have the ability to "blacklist" that sender, which instructs YOUR email service's servers (or your email client, if you're using POP3 email) to REJECT all emails from that sender. Bottom line: Once you tell someone to STOP sending you emails, any emails they send to you AFTER that can - and should - be treated as SPAM and dealt with accordingly. In spite of the number of emails I receive from Ashampoo prompting me to "upgrade" my existing software - or to purchase one of their other (and many) diverse offerings - I quickly grab every item they offer here. As a marketer myself, I certainly don't begrudge their efforts to try to make an honest buck off of their hard work (Before you criticize anything, have YOU ever tried writing code - of ANY kind? I know some of you reading this probably are "code-writers," based on your in-depth analysis of this and other products. If you find a defect, I'm sure the developers will welcome your feedback about it so that they can correct it. But simply proclaiming "it sucks" and then putting up links that may or may not lead to "free alternatives" that may or may not perform the exact same function is tantamount to "looking a gift horse in the mouth," and I was always taught while I was growing up that it's simply RUDE to do that! Please forgive the rant, but as an ethical online marketer (and there are a lot more of us than there are "spammers"), it really ticks me off when accusations are made which aren't based in reality. I know that there's a certain segment of the population that believes that everything should be "free" and that if one has a need for something, they should just automatically get it - without regard to where or how that thing comes from and the amount of hard work it takes to create and distribute it. To be successful (and in fact to just survive) in the long term, a business must provide value equal to or exceeding the value of the money they ask for it. If they don't, people simply won't buy their product/service, and it won't be long before that business either changes to conform to the desires of its market, or it will cease to exist! But getting back to Ashampoo and today's offering... When you install and register any of Ashampoo's software, you also have the option to create an account at Ashampoo's website, where you can keep track of all of the software that you've registered with them. You can even download a complete list of their software you have, along with each of their registration keys. Unlike most other vendors that participate in GOTD, if you've registered for an Ashampoo account and you happen to lose your installation of one of their "giveaway" items, you can re-download and re-install that software using the registration key that's also kept on file in your Ashampoo account. In short, even if you never pay them a single penny for any of it, Ashampoo will STILL support their software - regardless of whether you paid for it through regular sales channels, or you received it as a result of a giveaway on this site. IMHO, that's going above and beyond what's required of them, and once again I thank GOTD and Ashampoo for providing this and other valuable items at no charge to us end users!
