    I've read recently and in past threads of these "FTC guidelines",
    and realize the FTC has these words on the books and on the web.
    However, there is an essential element I have seen nothing written
    about. Does anyone know of the FTC actively enforcing these rules
    towards individual artists? By active enforcement, is there a FTC
    unit actively reviewing catalogs, shows, markets, and web sites? As
    lawyers have in casual conversation mentioned, a lack of enforcement
    over time has the effect of nullifying even legislation, much less
    beurorcratic agency rules. So, bottom line, are these protracted
    discussions nothing more than 'jilting at windmills', or is there
    some documentable pattern of enforcement toward individual artists?
