Re: FTC and blogging

I had heard this was coming down the pike. But 81 pages of regulations! ugh.
If anyone finds a trustworthy synopsis of it, please let us all know. And
while I don't have any problem with stating when I've received a free
product, I thought the comments posted on the first link below were quite
apt. So I'm required by law now to state that Proven Winners gave me those
plants for free, but Better Homes and Gardens is not required? I wonder what
was the impetus for these regulations?
