The latter, I think. I just visited the trial download page. There are 
two checkboxes there, one to join the announcement list, the other to 
join the use-rev list. Neither are checked by default. They are located 
directly under the place where you enter your email (required to get a 
temporary license key.)

The only way people can be subscribed here is if they clicked that 
checkbox on purpose. I vote for memory disorder.
