We all know from experience that users are a lazy bunch (just look at me!)...it's hard to get them to do stuff...
In the registration process, the default for receiving newsletter is NO. 99% of the users were saying no to receiving newsletters on my shop and I was worried...did they not want to receive newsletters?
Then I changed the default to YES, and now 99% of the users are saying yes to receiving newsletters...as it turns out, most users don't bother changing the default.
So, my feature request is this: in the core, let's make the default YES for newsletters in the registration process.

3rd time this year (and month...2nd time today) ;-)
I do realize that this can be done. In fact I did this in my 1.2.9 (my current production version)...(did I hear another "lazy"?).
What I am requesting is that you supply it like this in the core releases :-)

Please be aware that this could be an illegal action on your behalf in your country (and others).

No, it couldn't.
Germany has the most stringent laws in this regard and this can not be illegal in Germany so am pretty sure it can't be anywhere else.
If you audit permissions by opt-out i.e. include everyone unless they say NO (i.e. ask you to remove them) in a mailing list etc, THAT is illegal. In other words, if you were to remove the checkbox and have everybody "opted in" by default, giving them the option only to log into their account details to opt out, that would be illegal.
The important distinction is providing the users the option BEFORE the action. By having the checkbox ticked, but allowing the users to change it, you are still auditing permissions via opt-in, and that is legal in all the countries with whose laws I am familiar with/ have received legal advice on (UK, US, DE, GR, NL, CZ, IN, AT)

To what I know is that after saying Yes during checkout you still have to ask them in an separate e-mail if they do want to receive your e-mails.

Ok, point taken.
So how about a little checkbox in admin for this? (similar to postcode required)

Where do I find
"catalog/view/theme/default/template/account/register.tpl" to edit the code?
At the moment I am only making changes through the template (www.website.com/admin) not through the code but would like to make this change to enable to newsletter as default. Is this possible? Is anyone able to give me more detailed information?

I had the same need and I developed a quick free VQMOD to work with my Sellegance-derived custom theme and also for the default theme OC 1.5.3.1
