Cb and the ftc

by trinitron00

Clickbank has a lot of questionable stuff that in my opinion look like violate the ftc regulations and if you check the ftc website some of the sites taken down on a daily basis usually have some similarities to clickbank websites.

So I am just wondering why the ftc has not clamped down on cb yet and what effect do you think it would have if they ever did so (would it affect everybody or only those who promote or own these questionable products). I would like to hear your opinions on this

    ClickBank is also only selling other peoples material for a commission. They don't claim to have any ownership of the products they sell.

    Would the FTC shut down a bookstore for selling books of questionable content?

    I'd also imagine that the contract they've signed with any eBook authors would indemnify them against any legal action by having the author assume all responsibility.

      They have something like that in their terms but it does not protect affiliates and I don't think it would be enough to protect them if anything were to happen

      yeah i think they'd be guilty also for the same reason affiliate companys get fined by the attorney generals for the offers they have in their networks
