Website Documents Drafting Service Founder Advocates CliffsNotes For Bloggers to Avoid $11,000 Fine From Federal Trade Commission
Internet attorney and author Chip Cooper provides free CliffsNotes-style summary for bloggers to cut through the 81-page FTC Guides for endorsers.
(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 27, 2009 ) Amelia Island, FL – On October 5, 2009, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued its Guides for the use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising. Effective on December 1, 2009, bloggers, podcasters, video producers, and other producers of consumer-generated online content will be regulated in their online endorsements and testimonials, and failure to comply can result in a hefty $11,000 fine imposed by the FTC.
“Bloggers are in a real quandary right now. They really aren’t sure what they’re required to do”, says Internet attorney Chip Cooper, President of Digital Contracts and developer of the MyLegalFirewallTM website documents drafting service at DigiContracts.com. “I’ve read a lot of blog posts about the Guides, and most just say they threw up their hands in disgust after reading a couple of pages. It’s an 81-page document, and its mostly legaleze.”
Cooper recalled using CliffsNotes from his college days. So, using the CliffsNotes concept as a guide, Cooper published an article designed for bloggers that cuts through the jargon and legaleze.
