I intended to make a few bucks on affiliate purchases. If I ever do a bad review, I will still include an affiliate link. I guess I will have to add a page that says I am a member of the Amazon affiliate program. I keep a blog where I occasionally post book reviews (with an Amazon affiliate link).

If taken literaly, it means literally the guy who mops the floors at the Safeway is a creditor and subject to all of those regulations. I fully expect the FTC to be slapped back on that, but not after alot of firms have to spend alot of money complying. the FTC in general has been on overdrive recently. they have said that any person who has any delay at all between the work they provide and getting paid is a creditor under various laws and thus regulated up the wazoo.
