Black-Market Mentality

A state of mind induced by society standard, historical events & opinions, education, childhood, economic background, religion, race, geographic region and many other external variables flucuating greatly between individuals resulting in the individual, group or idea feeling inadequate, second rate, discriminated against, isolated or foreign and forced to hide, disguise or avoid entirely personal actions, customs, practices, ideology or philosophy pertaining to physical, emotional, spirtual, sexual or any other personal expression unique to the human mind and body.
The black-market mentality projected upon minorities, by public opinion, is one of the reasons we are noticing a regression in our society within these groups, for example, depression, drug abuse and HIV prevelance in the homosexual community, crime statisics of ethnic minorities or workplace discrimination against medical marijuana patients.

Pirate Marketing

A term describing the so-called "marketing strategy" of spammers who "advertise" or plug) their products and services by using people’s email addresses to send out bulk mail messages to all the contacts they've hijacked, pretending the email was written by the person who's identity they have hacked into.

This is done to suggest a person has tried and tested the product and to spread bogus word of mouth virally. This is entirely fraudulent and can potentially hurt a person’s reputation, but thankfully this method is used by individuals and groups who are just as stupid as the people they are trying to scam (i.e. catering to the lowest denominator). For this reason, the spam message itself is usually as easy to detect as the cheap knockoffs (or stolen goods) they are trying to unload on unsuspecting victims.
Here is a prime example of pirate marketing allegedly sent from a friend:
