To that end it's also a data problem. Getting 100% accurate unique identifiers like UPC, MPN or ISBN for such items can be a challenge for online retailers. Also the notion of smaller retailers who fall under this legislation having to (pay

I'm kind of upset they didn't clarify this in the initial email/blog entry. The way it was worded ("if applicable") implies that resetting the API might not be necessary in some cases. I think it is reasonable to assume that those who never
