Adding the same email address more times, will just give a total of still one entry, but new links are provided each time. Makes me wonder how this is working.

Jibz:

I suppose it's time to use one of those unused domains and make a million email addresses. :) :P

Jibz:
I can't help but wonder a bit about that contest either, the first thing that caught my attention was the "Dropbox Inc. is not affiliate with the contest." in the smallprint at the bottom. How can they offer a lifetime license with no help from DropBox?

Also, if you click the contest rules link, it says "Prize includes: Dropbox premium 1 year membership. Winners will receive a payment to upgrade their own Dropbox account." Are they planning to keep on sending you $100 a year? Will they do that even if you unsubscribe from their daily newsletter?

That's right, a daily newsletter, and if you press the unsubscribe button at the bottom of it, it takes you to a page trying to get you to change your mind, that reads among other things: "Unsubscribing will void all entries into the Dropbox Pro For Life giveaway."

Hmm... thanks for this. Didn't realize it had little to do with Dropbox. This is something I normally expect from them.

AppSumo does offer some fishy deals but often on the pay side of things. (More quality as in you get what you pay for content rather than any outright scam to my experience.)

I've registered to their newsletter before and they don't seem to be a heavy spammer.

I can't really piece together a possible reason for the entire contest if this is the case.
