I'm not particularly fond of the ACS. I was provided with membership by my work and started getting a large volume of email from them. Unsubscribing from their mailing lists was a complete ordeal[1], and it was impossible to completely unsubscribe online - I had to call someone at their office to get taken off a mailing list. In the end I gave up and filtered their emails instead. Despite the fact that my membership has since lapsed, I am still receiving their newsletter and invitations to various events that, as a non-member, I can't attend.

[1] I had to log in to their account management system, which involved finding a randomly generated username and password that had never been sent to me.

Exactly the same experience but instead of emails (filtered out) I get a ton of snail mail asking me to re-join / attend events, its probably been 2-3 years since i've been a member and I still get the mail forwarded to me from my old address

You can contact the privacy commissioner if the wont remove you from their mailing lists.

What sort of events do they promote? Curious.

Edit: oh, but only if there was a piracy commissioner...
