From techdirt:
[…] Amazon has apparently had enough of authors reviewing their own books on the site and has put in a new system that will require a credit card as proof of identification before you can add a new review to the site. Might be interesting to see what kind of impact this has on reviews... and sales.
Perhaps Amazon should send people to a site that does unbiased reviews…like maybe blogcritics?

But they will have to have blogcritic friends.. or at least know the sinister cabal handshake.
