This has me all kinds of curious about its basis in fact. "Legally" implies a law of some kind. Now I can understand that someone might be bound by a contract they are expected to abide by in exchange for the free book (depending on the publisher), but I just can't imagine any law being "on the books" pertaining to book reviews and free review copies. I could be wrong, though. It certainly wouldn't be the first time.
