Have you checked your spam filter? The volume isn't very high for these yet (about one or two a week per address), but the fact that I am now getting spam to email addresses that I only used to sign up for their sites points the blame directly at them.
It is probably more likely that they were sloppy with protecting the mailing list than actually selling the email addresses. But either way, it isn't good.
