Subject: Re: Unsolicited Videos

I seem to remember a law that says the receiver is entitled to keep what is
sent to him/her unsolicited (without paying).  Can anyone confirm or deny
this officially?  Would be fitting, wouldn't it, and would put a swift end
to all this!

Dear Joan,
I was part of the previous discussion of this Company and their unsolicited
videos.

I got caught the first time because I was brand new and a guidance counselor
saw the videos and really wanted them.  (By the way, she hasn't used them
again).
When they sent the next (it was only one, not a set) I just let it lay and
finally they started sending invoices.  I sent them a letter stating I did
not ask for it and planned to return it if and when they sent me a post-paid
return envelope.  Have heard nothing else from them since.  I still have not
opened the video but, now that a year is past I just might.
