But seriously, what action will be taken once the spoils of the sweep
are in? 

Anyone can look for scams... But what are you going to do with this
other than generate (negative) publicity our industry.. we all know what
TV does with the slightest bit of information relating to suspect
content available .....
	
Do the ACCC and the 30 other agencies around the world also want to
undertake a sweep to locate all the great stuff available and preach to
consumers what they're missing out on......? I'm sure you'd find a lot
of people who could appear on TV and inform consumers of the delights,
but that woudn't be very TV would it!

just asking the question...
