That is specifically what is referred to as Non-solicited bulk email
marketing. I.E. SPAM  UBE (unsolicited bulk email):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_spam

To send non-solicited email to individuals you MUST meet various
requirements - OPT OUT link at the bottom of all mail with content/subject
meeting requirements.

What IS the difference between a mailinglist and a spam list:

http://www.spamhaus.org/whitepapers/mailinglists/

The bottom line here is that (excerpt):

*In the event of a "spam" accusation:*

The Bulk Email Sender has no verifiable proof that the recipient consented
to be placed on the bulk mailing list and is therefore liable for having
sent Unsolicited Bulk Email a/k/a Spam. Action can be taken against the
Sender. The sending of Unsolicited Bulk Email is against all ISP Terms of
Service worldwide, is illegal in many countries, and is against Spamhaus
SBL policy.
