Chances are I didn’t do this correctly – but chances are I don’t really care.

I provide links to music on Amazon that’s listed in the podcast you’re enjoying. The only reason I do this? Hoping that someday the site will pay for itself. The bands don’t ask me to do this; hell, most of them & their labels are MIA now. That’s how things work. But due to the fact that I don’t want to piss on anyone’s shoes over at the FTC, I believe this disclaimer might cover whatever it is I just described in the yawn-worthy terms they can understand:

This policy is valid from 04 January 2010

This blog is a personal blog written and edited by me. This blog accepts forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions or other forms of compensation.

The compensation received may influence the advertising content, topics or posts made in this blog. That content, advertising space or post may not always be identified as paid or sponsored content.

The owner(s) of this blog is compensated to provide opinion on products, services, websites and various other topics. Even though the owner(s) of this blog receives compensation for our posts or advertisements, we always give our honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences on those topics or products.

PS: I respect why the FTC is doing what they’ve done, but they need to have another look at their policy. It doesn’t work for the Internet of today, or for altruistic-style blog posting, such as the posts done on Club Topsy. I’m not here to make money, take money, etc – to make an impact on my pocket, and chances are I won’t. Some people don’t do things for greed. Just sayin.
