I am unclear what the complaint is here - it seems to be implying that the author thinks that me providing my contact details to one company _should_ be a valid reason that an unrelated company should be able to contact me, and that somehow a "lead generator" is anything other than that?

I get that there are people who's business model is buying contact information and claiming the sellers of that information gained a blanket consent to spam that contact, but I don't know a single person - who doesn't make money from spamming people - who has ever wanted that.

I also appreciate the euphemism of "lead generation" rather than spammer.
