These publishers could literally be giving the magazines piles of cash for perfect scores and it wouldn't be illegal. There's an implied honesty and fairness in the review industry but that isn't backed by law, nor should it be.

Are you really sure about that? 

 

Considering how many magazine editors I know who openly receive thousands of dollars in "gifts" that are used to buy cover stories and good reviews, yeah, I'm pretty damned sure it's not illegal.
