Wouldn't a civil case be between the two parties involved, not the state?

Do fast food outlets get questioned because their burgers and fries don't look as they are advertised? False advertising is every where thats why there is TOS on all sites somewhere in the smallest font possible, but its still there!

They just came by to ask some questions to better understand how the affiliate marketing industry works. Same with Shawn, and same with asking AzoogleAds about ringtones, since they know more about that stuff than I would. I’m not a narc, and they didn’t raid my house either.

Even though there are tons of notices out there that you are not allowed to market on search engines using "free" in your headlines or ads, you still see ads for FREE Ringtones from people like <a href="http://www.tonesonthenet.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.tonesonthenet.com</a> and ads with domains like <a href="http://www.totally-free-ringtones.net" rel="nofollow">http://www.totally-free-ringtones.net</a> etc.. Even ringtone companies themselves seem to be getting around the "rules" by creating ads that say Hassle-Free Ringtones. All these guys are at the top of search results because their ads get a much higher CTR than publishers that are doing the right thing and are staying away from using the word "free". I agree with shoemoney, once all these bad players are gone, all of us will get more traffic. Hopefully this investigation will make all these guys stop t’s amazing what some affiliates still get away with these days when they market ringtones.

I always hated complying with the TOS by removing the terms "Free, No Cost" etc from an ad when my competition clearly wasn't following suit. Makes it a little harder to compete and slims the margins up for a lot of markets. This is actually good for some of the little ringtone affiliate players out there like myself.
