coondoggie writes to tell us that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will be taking a look at contactless payment systems and the consumer protection issue surrounding them. "RFID technology provides obvious benefits, the FTC said. For example, the ability of producers using RFID to track exactly where in the supply chain their products are and by which retailer they were ultimately sold to a consumer has the potential to make product recalls more effective. However, there also may be costs regarding consumers' individual privacy rights associated with it." Read more of this story at Slashdot. ... Source: www.forbes.com --- 7 days ago

The Federal Trade Commission amended four CAN-SPAM Act provisions. The new rules stipulate that companies don't charge users to opt-out of receiving e-mails. They also alter the definition of the term "person," according to the FTC press release , "to clarify that CAN-SPAM’s obligations are not limited to natural persons." The term "sender" was also redefined in an effort to clarify who's responsible for enabling opt-outs when multiple parties advertise in a single e-mail. According to the Act's full document : The final Rule provides that multiple 'senders' of a commercial email, under certain conditions, may identify one among them as the 'sender' who will be deemed the sole 'sender' of the message (the 'designated sender'). Thus, under the final Rule, the designated sender, but not the other marketers using the same email message, must honor opt-out requests made by recipients of the message. Moreover, under the final Rule, the physical address of the designated sender, but not the addresses of the other marketers using the same email message, must appear in the message. Apparently, the FTC received nearly 60 comments regarding this proposal. ... Source: www.miamiherald.com --- 10 days ago

At the request of the Federal Trade Commission, a federal court in Illinois has entered a final order and default judgment against a group of individual and corporate defendants based in Ontario, Canada, for their role in a cross-border telemarketing scheme involving credit card offers and free cellular telephone offers. The defendants, collectively known as Pacific Liberty, are liable for about $5 million -- the total net sales they made. The case was brought with the help of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Toronto Strategic Partnership, which consists of the FTC, Competition Bureau Canada and various law enforcement agencies. Canadian regulators filed criminal charges against two of the defendants in September 2007. One got a year in jail and another received a six-month conditional sentence. Both were barred from telemarketing for 10 years. Read more about the case here . ... Source: www.law.com --- 2 days ago
Businesses that make misleading environmental claims about the products or services they offer better watch out — judgment day may be near. The Federal Trade Commission is revising its "Green Guides" for environmental marketing claims and courts have held that FTC guidelines should be given weight in determining whether a defendant's marketing claims are false or misleading. More ominously, several states have enacted laws that write part or all of the Green Guides into state law. ...

Recently anointed FTC Chairman William Kovacic is obviously a sports fan. His breakfast speech to members of the Computer and Communications Industry Association on Wednesday was packed with athletic imagery. On succeeding Deborah Platt Majoras he said: "I feel a bit like the back-up quarterback who has held the clipboard on the sideline, knows the plays… and all of a sudden the starting quarterback is gone and I'm noticing how much faster the game moves when you're out there." He also quoted Hall of Fame Major League Baseball manager Earl Weaver : "It's what you learn after you know it all that counts." Read more about his remarks in CongressDaily 's PM edition . ...
