There are many give-aways that give eligibility only after a purchase. A case in point is the two free books that are sent to you from MM when you register CFMX. (only an example)
The rule is that the entity doing the give-away must state clearly whether or not a purchase or other qualifier is required in order to be eligible. >From Microsoft: "Complete this survey and be entered into a drawing for [name the prize] " No purchase required there, but effort is required on your part. ====================================== Stop spam on your domain, use our gateway!
