Where can I find legal information about contests/giveaways?
This is US/Canada based.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

M$If not, I would ask the authors/publishers what you have to do to be able to give it away.
There are some sites that will offer you a product to review, and a similar product to give away -- they however keep the giveaway product, and you run the contest, then you pick a winner, and they ship it out.
Just basically- you want to have the OK from the company to give the product away....
Thats all I have.
I hope someone has a bit more info ...... I know there are bloggers out there who give away lots of items per month, but like I said, the company has asked them to review the product, and hold a giveaway.

Thanks for the great information - and the blast from the past. The second link is a 2001 article adapted from a Tech TV show!
Sadly, it seems most giveaways are illegal unless you can afford to Lawyer it up.
