It is mandatory spam or does unsubscribe really work without making a federal case?

Seems that it's mandatory. But I guess one can always unsubscribe from CNET newsletter later...

Anyone have any technical information about this company? How is privacy, security, etc?

Would be interested to know too. My Google drive is bursting out soon. Having another Chinese service provider as back-up temporarily.

Personally for security my choices would be either SpiderOak or Mega.SpiderOak will only give you 2GB free but is probably one of the best in terms of security.Mega gives you 50GB free and would be my personal choice for free space and security.
Pogoplug as far as I can recall doesn't or did not have encrypted storage only transfers are encrypted.It is however unlimited everything for about $5 USD/month
I use Mega,Dropbox & MediaFire.I do have some files stored on One Drive

However with a Temp/Disp. email you can grab 30GB of free lifetime storage so I would say it is definitely worth having around however I am not sure I would store anything really important.
The cons that I have read concerning pogoplug were no device syncing,no storage encryption and no file versioning.
One thing to consider is that all data is stored on Amazon3 servers along with a ton of other cloud storage services without encryption.

30 Gb is a good deal, need this for my big files. TY

This is a pretty good deal. I signed up a while back and have not received any spam really.

I guess it's not applicable to CNET giveaway in the OP.

Mega is no longer trustworthy since "Kim Dotcom" is no longer the owner of the domain. currently his wife and a chinese company which holds most of the shares control Mega.
