    Hello Everybody,
    I have collected the active 50,000 email addresses over the internet. and I am thinking use those for sell clickbank products. Is this good Idea?

    all email addresses from US.

    because I did not build this list, I have collected those.

    I have already selected my product from clickbank and the tools for promote from vendor.

    If they aren't officially opted in then you can't legally use them. We throw around the word legally when we really mean comply with a site's TOS but in this case it really is legally!

    This behavior is both illegal and unethical. It's also likely to be incredibly ineffective.

    The above responses are correct. In the US, and many other countries as well, it is illegal to collect (harvest) email addresses from the internet. Check the CanSpam act on Google. You need to have collected those addresses yourself using standard approved techniques such as signup forms on your web site. Best if you use an email service like aweber or getresponse and have your signup form go through double opt-in (once they fill in the form the email service sends them an email asking them to confirm their signup, that gives you legal proof that they want to be on your list).

    I can easily get 50,000 emails by googling.
    Don't use it and let greed drive you to make the wrong move.

    It's illegal.
