Note the term commercial communication isn't set in stone and is being raised in many cases that involve legislation from European Directives on information society's
If every one just looked at Directives and legislation and said Oh look at those two words we are OK we would soon be in the shit
If you look at the post I just made, you'll see that on the UK government website explaining the legislation, writing about a product is not commercial communication, unless it's written about in a promotional way (that is, with the aim of selling it). Plus, reviews / discussions are exempt from the laws.
You are fear mongering over a non-issue.
