&c
I would think it was good faith, lots of these galleries/virtual hard drives invite you to upload your address book. Not all of us have single use email accounts and we end up unwittingly sending these spam notices. mike
zOMG! Spam, although I don't think he did this deliberately. While getting registered, Zorpia asks for the email address and password of your primary email address/account and then spams everybody in the address book with an invitation to join. :-)
Hope this helped!

A couple of large social-networking sites do this and *don't* spam people - I assume they're just relying on people trusting that "it works like Facebook"...

No, I'm serious, even if Wikipedia (a site whose business ethics and respect for user privacy are allegedly waaaaay beyond repute) prompted me to enter my e-mail password so I could enjoy extra shiny new features, I would kindly tell Wikipedia to bugger off.

I suppose people just trust these sites 'because everyone else does it'. That's kind of the way I personally think, rightly or wrongly.
