[Special] CobWEBs Daily Podcast: Anyone thinking the FTC blogger rules are a good thing are fuckwads

Surprisingly today’s show is a little earlier than usual but that shouldn’t be too surprising since it has to do with the final publication from the FTC and their ham-fisted rulings regarding bloggers and disclosure. Today’s show would have been with Sean P. Aune and Mark “Rizzn” Hopkins but after listening in for a few minutes I couldn’t keep help from jumping in on the conversation as well.

Besides just talking about the new rulings we also talk about the reasoning behind such an incredibly boneheaded move and who is most likely to benefit from what really amounts to the smaller bloggers getting slammed by these draconian laws that apparently only apply to bloggers and not other forms of media who have lived off the largesse of freebies for as long as man has been publishing newsprint.

There is going to be a lot of discussion about this over the next while that is for sure and hopefully more than one lawsuit over the constitutionality of what the FTC is ramming down our throats.

In the meantime enjoy the show.
