Are links requests illegal for UK businesses?

    I live in the UK and my concern about soliciting a link request (or purchase) from someone in the UK is that it is illegal. Is that the case, since it is unsolicited email?

    Thanks,

    Jon

    Don't worry, its perfectly legal :).

    It is my understanding that spam legislation only restricts sending emails to private individuals - businesses may send solicitations by email to other businesses (or public sector instituions) within the law. If the place you are emailing has a website, I think it is fair to assume that they are not considered a private individual in this context.
