## Resource

Luxury department store giants Arnotts and Brown Thomas got hit with a 21-count spam email fine after sending unsolicited marketing messages—admitting to five charges, including emailing women without consent and men without proper unsubscribe options. The judge offered leniency: pay €2,000 (€1,000 to charity Little Flower Penny Dinners, €1,000 to court costs) by October 5th, and the rest of the charges vanish—with no criminal record. A stark reminder: privacy matters more than profit in today’s digital age. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
