I am curious on what you think the impact will be on blogs? Are sponsorships a thing of the past or will bloggers fight back? Please enter your vote and add a comment as you see fit!

This is certainly an important issue, and I think the ramifications will play out over time.
I’d like to quibble over your question if I could. I’m not sure what bloggers would “fight back” against? They can *still* accept sponsorships/products/services/junkets/etc as they always have; they just need to be diligent in *disclosing* them publicly.
What I hope this will mean is that the *unscrupulous* sponsorships–where disclosure is discouraged, etc.–will go away, particularly because such tactics will be against the law.
Curious to see what others think here.
