Overture Ads in spam emails?

How long has this been part of the TOS?

I just noticed on the front page where you log in at Overture it now says:

"The Overture Terms and Conditions have been updated to specify distribution opportunities with affiliate partners who may use e-mail to distribute Overture listings. Please review the latest version, available by clicking on the link below. No further action is required on your part, as your continued use of Overture signifies your acceptance of these updated Terms and Conditions."

What in the world is this? It appears that Overture is going to allow their distribution partners to put out Overture links in email... including spam... I don't like this at all. How long has this been around?

First Yahoo gets in bed with spyware (Gator) and now they are allowing distibution partners to send out email? ANd there is no option to opt-out and no recourse for partners who send your links in spam?

The more time passes, the less I like this company.

Ridiculous.
