I received promotional emails from Apple, without any unsubscribe link which states, "Since India has no anti-spamming law, we follow the US directive passed in Bill.1618 Title III by the 105th US Congress, which states that mail cannot be considered spam if it contains contact information, which this mail does."

Can a company like Apple can do this ? If not illegal, is not it morally bad ? Can gmail/yahoo mail mark it as SPAM ? What should I do to report it to them ?
