There has been a lot of conversation about the FCC regulations as of late and since now my Inbox is piling in with questions and comment requests I guess I’ll address it in public.

I feel the FCC established these guidelines to help the general public (idiots) and discourage the business models that have been built online to deceive the public. There are endless blogs that are nothing more than paid third party infomercials for products that the manufacturers paid for. That’s like me writing a check to all of my IT community buddies and asking them to write an independent review of ExchangeDefender in exchange for $500.

To me, it seems pretty simple. If you’re taking money or discounts or $ under the table and promoting the heck out of them, disclose the sponsorship and move on.

As for the long arm of the law overreaching again, the government turning into a dictatorship that’s clamping down on free speech, Obama trying to censor the Internet, etc, please see the following site for instructions.

Disclosure: Reynolds Wrap and Alcoa are not sponsors of Vladville. I however fully endorse their product.
