New Posts on Adlaw by Request
As we approach the final days of a summer replete of rest, relaxation, summer trips, kids at home, barbeques…we, at Adlaw by Request, simply can’t contain ourselves any longer and feel the pressing need before the Labor Day weekend to send you a brief email regarding all of the terrific articles that have accumulated over the past month or so on our blog. If you do nothing else before heading out for one final summer sojourn, make sure to check out these gems and the many others on Adlaw by Request:
- Redemption or Enslavement, an article that discusses a recent settlement between the State of California and a prominent retailer in the area of California’s Gift Laws;
- The Kids Are NOT All Right in Maine, and its sequel Maine AG Supports Stay on Privacy Law Targeted at Minors, both by John Feldman;
- Allocation Dispute Procedures, a piece by Doug Wood on how existing allocation disputes in multi-service celebrity endorsement deals should be resolved in light of the procedures adopted in the new Collective Bargaining Agreement ;
- The Amazon Tax; Friend or Foe?, an article that discuses the tension between States looking for new revenue sources through the affiliate industry and its consequences;
- Banking on the Banks, a piece about the FTC’s continued enforcement of the financial services industry.

We’ve also posted two comprehensive and timely surveys, thanks to Joe Rosenbaum at Legal Bytes, of (i) the federal and state Gift Card Laws, and (ii) a survey of both the federal and various state laws and regulations pertaining to online gaming. And, check out my article on Legal Bytes entitled “Privacy and Consumer Groups Want More Than Just Self-Regulation.”
We continue to post What We're Reading each week -- ask yourself this, are you reading What We're Reading.
Lastly, we want to make sure you know about and mark your calendars for a couple important upcoming events:
- A Reed Smith teleseminar on the topic of Global Regulation of Behavior Marketing, on September 30th, 2009, that will be led by Doug Wood, Joe Rosenbaum and Gregor Pryor; and
- The 2009 Annual CARU Conference – Advertising to Kids 2.0, that will be held in New York City on October 7th, 2009.
We wish you continued rest and relaxation during the waning days of summer and thank you for making AdlawByRequest one of your destinations for timely, informative and interesting legal developments in the world of advertising.
Warm regards,
Editor-in-Chief
