The CAN-SPAM Act defines commercial messages as those that primarily advertise or promote a commercial product or service. The FCC’s ban does not cover “transactional or relationship” messages -- that is, notices to facilitate a transaction you have already agreed to -- for example, messages that provide information about your existing account or warranty information about a product you’ve purchased. The FCC’s ban also does not cover non-commercial messages, such as messages about candidates for public office, or email messages that you have forwarded from your computer to your wireless device (but read below about the FTC’s rules that may restrict such messages).
Federal rules require the following for commercial email sent to your email:
- Identification – The email must be clearly identified as a solicitation or advertisement for products or services;
- Opt-Out – The email must provide easily-accessible, legitimate, and free ways for you to reject future messages from that sender;
- Return Address – The email must contain legitimate return email addresses, as well as the sender’s postal address.

According to the laws, he has not done 2 of the 3 requirements, that my friend is spam... And he only qualified for the first one because the subject isn't settable on the contact form, so I gave him that.
I find it funny that so many people here are all "just delete it" when it comes to laws being broken regarding spam, but heaven forbid a site has full length videos on it, and follows legal requirements regarding DMCA...
