This plugin will fall foul of these laws if it is just cross-adding any registrants’ email addresses to a Campaign Monitor list also.

You are right, you should not be adding registrants from a public registration form on your website to Campaign Monitor and then blindly send unsolicited email from that list. \r\n\r\nIf you have a public registration form on your WordPress website you should add an opt-in checkbox to the form. There are other plugins that can do this, my plugin does not look at how users are actually registered. The checkbox data should be stored in a custom user field, then you can use a filter in Campaign Monitor.\r\n\r\nI believe the person who sends marketing email is responsible for taking care of the anti-spam laws. I don't think it will be easy to blame the plugin, but I am not a lawyer."}}
