Network Marketeers and the New FTC Business Opportunity Rule

Some network marketers are having difficulty with the proposed FTC business opportunity rule, For example, consider this call to arms by the DRA. Multi level marketing is already regulated by the FTC, but there is no requirement for some mlm's to disclose any information material to their potential distributors. On the other hand, a number of distributores who use the party system to distribute their goods may already be caught by the more onerous franchise rule. Both types of mlms should welcome the use of a one page disclosure document and the introduction or categorization of certain activities deceptive. Foremost, in this regard in the advertising of a sales position, when in reality the individual will have to recruit other sales persons to be effective.
