TWO years?  Please check up on some current events in this area; a LOT 
has changed, especially in the last two years. But not scraping 
addresses; it's still very common.
    One positive thing that has happened, is ISPs have become much 
better at protecting their clients inboxes. Mine does a stellar job. But 
the scraping continues unabated.
    And once an address makes it to a CD, it's there for a good, long 
time and the list will be sold, added to, sold again, ad-infinitum.
