From the vague OP, Oprah's lawyers are going after false advertising, unwanted publicity, commercial association, deception etc. from the the misuse of Oprah on affiliate campaigns? Is there anything else going on?
Pretty foreseeable, and instead of widely hunting all violators, it looks like they brought an order to the attorney general for swifter action, bigger scare, and the ability to cast a wide net and dig into violator information.
Usually when this happens, the lawyers/agencies have been collecting information on violators for a while.
Are the nature of the subpeonas purely for the usage of Oprah in campaigns?

Where do they draw the line though?
e.g. Can Google be pulled into the suit? An argument can be made that "Google approved my landing page, and the offer I ran, so therefore it was ok to run"
e.g. My Network told me the offer was ok to run and approved my landing page.
e.g. It clearly says at the bottom of my page in tiny print "This is all a fucking flog"

Pure assumption- I know nothing of this- but I see a great deal of difference between a FLOG with disclaimers and a headline of "OMG Readz My Weight Loss Storiez!" and one with "<celeb's name>'s Miracle Diet" with the facebook image being their face and comments beyond 'I saw this on _____' or an embedded youtube vid on the lander.
And no- we all know Getty didn't license that face to you to use in that manner.
I bet that's at the root of this. At least candidly I hope so.

Acai seems to be past dead and now is in a terrifying zombie like state where it's coming back to rip your ass off.
Time to put at the bottom:
"Any story expressed on this page are creative writings and not necessarily true, and do not necessarily represent actual product testimonials or normal usage."
Rip your ass off... or rip your ass up? It is quite the colon cleansing agent I've heard.
Seriously - good luck those of you out there about to do war. Hopefully, it's more flash than substance.
Wouldn't matter what you put at the bottom of the page in this instance. It's not about flogs or rebills.
Where are the "the big fish" on this forum who always seem to let you know that they are big fish, and are now all the sudden in hiding. Step right up ballers, time to get that colon cleansed ...
Sounds like a website all about bullshit lawsuits.... McDonald's coffee, anyone?
Well, as long as no jail time is served by affiliates, I'm happy.
Money comes and money goes, but getting butt raped by a large inmate... priceless.

Why would anyone who just got subpoenaed want to bring everything they posted here into the situation?
