Just got this in my email:

Dear Webmaster,
The following is important information that pertains to you as a TopBucks-valued Webmaster and your participation in the TopBucks Webmaster Program.
As you know, the TopBucks Webmaster Program was recently the subject of a settlement agreement between Cyberheat, Inc. and the Federal Trade Commission. Pursuant to the Injunction which resulted from the settlement agreement, TopBucks is required to obtain certain information from you, serve you with a copy of the injunction Order, and obtain your signed Acknowledgment of the Order. In shorter terms, your signature on the Acknowledgment verifies that you have read the Order and you agree to comply with the Order,
the Adult Labeling Rule, and the CAN-SPAM Act. Because TopBucks prohibits solicited or unsolicited email campaigns, compliance with the Order should be basically a non-issue to you.
We, at TopBucks, have attempted to design the easiest method for you to meet the requirements of the Injunction as they pertain to you. Therefore, you may update your account personal information, read the Injunction, and sign the Acknowledgment in just a couple of easy steps. Please login to your TopBucks account and take a moment to read the Injunction and sign the Acknowledgment at your earliest convenience.
We greatly appreciate your cooperation in helping us to comply with the Injunction so that we may continue to provide you with the same great quality products and services. If you have any difficulty in completing and processing the TB admin page or have any questions, please feel free to contact your personal TopBucks Support Representative or our friendly legal staff at

Thank you from your TopBucks team

I presume quite a few of you did too. Pretty disconcerting.
First off, it seems I'm being forced to comply with this "adult labeling rule" which, i'm not so sure about.
in Part VI, B, 3 (page 16), it says that topbucks has to send a list of everyone that aggrees with this to the FCC. Umm....
It looks like you ONLY have to agree if you're marketing via email, but I think most webmasters wont even catch this. I only caught this because a fellow webmaster pointed it out via icq.
Just think, after all this is over the FCC will have a list of pornographers names, addresses, numbers, etc. That CANNOT be good.
So what do you guys think?
