    hi,
    i am in a fix and one of the emails i use for important business purposes has been wrongfully dragged into a conflict between a few blog owners and i am not a party to any of it.
    What legal recourse i can take against such websites and blogs to prevent them from publishing my email without my consent?
    Not only has it tainted my name but after they published my emails i have been flooded with a lot of spam.
    Is there no Google or other privacy policies against it?
    i would have discontinued the use of that email address but it's been associated with my amen for a long time and is present on all my stationary and cards. So please suggest what can i do.
    This email address in question is on G mail and not my companies name.

    Nothing, apart from sending a Digital Millennium Copyright Act take down notice to each blogs host.
