Apparently, the govt is enforcing these laws already. They hit 2 major retail saites based out of TX a few weeks ago. One of teh websites was a "price comparison" site that listed the cheapest prices for a product. It turns out, the one they were selecting was not the cheapest after all, but it was the one paying the highest commission. That company settled. The other one was a similar deal but they are taking it to court
