PayPerPost Founder, Ted Murphy Arrested

I recently signed up for PayPerPost, who will pay me at least $2.50 for certain posts. If I had a digital video camera, or any video camera really, and could post my own videos, I could even get $35+ for some approved posts. Unfortunately though, I don't own a video. They even said they would pay me $10.50, if I made up some kind of stupid and creative rumor about them. Now, that sounds interesting. Rather then creating ads on blogs, I could write a rumor about them. However; before I could, I seen this news story,

. It seems that the internet authorities didn't like this kind of marketing and the blurring of lines between every day bloggers and commercial bloggers. How dare, Murphy pay normal every day bloggers, primarily those that discuss personal finance, to do what they do best; blog. So, they had him arrested. Obviously, this has created an uproar, but since most of the bloggers are American, their complaints have fallen on deaf ears with the Chinese authorities.
