I caught them at it too. I reported them to Irish dataprotection people
(having used ticketmaster.ie). However the affiliate site that was spamming
me was a uk site, but the dataprotection crowd were able to contact relevant
uk authority to slap their hand -or at least to remove my address from their
database.
That's no consolation to the hundreds of thousands of other addresses they
must have ('anonymously').
