There are so many other important things that the FTC could be focusing on instead of trying to be punitive with bloggers. Oh well, I guess it's something we are all going to have to deal with. By the way, I love your graphic!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-82422014178583334852009-10-12T11:39:33.079-04:002009-10-12T11:39:33.079-04:00I'm not sure there's much I can add to thi...I'm not sure there's much I can add to this discussion but this is an interesting new policy that raises a lot of questions. For instance, how will the FTC know that a book was received freely or purchased? They might make a mistake and charge incredible sums of money just out of stupidity. And how will they regulate it in the case of anonymous bloggers (and many are indeed anonymous)? Will paid, professional reviewers be forced to adhere to the same rules? And what does this imply about bloggers and the collective integrity of book bloggers? Thanks for this post. I expect to see this issue heavily discussed over the next few weeks...Meytal Radzinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805413335735169073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-57774212579928057002009-10-12T09:26:50.561-04:002009-10-12T09:26:50.561-04:00I think as long as we disclose that it was a revie...I think as long as we disclose that it was a review copy then we will be fine.<br /><br />Love your review button!DCMetroreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02229456529059098518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-86747753685363678302009-10-11T22:36:39.344-04:002009-10-11T22:36:39.344-04:00I love the thank you picture.
