I don't know, I'm not a lawyer or anything. But I know I get subscribed to newsletters all the time. My understanding is that (in the US anyway) the email needs to include instructions for unsubscribing, and the vb subscription emails do.

But that's a good point - anyone who chooses to use this should make sure it's not breaking any laws where they live or host their site.
