Online Stores That Accept Checks

Online Stores That Accept Checks 07/06/2004 05:27 AM
As more people worry about online credit card fraud and identity theft, while e-commerce providers worry about attracting new users, some are going to a much more old fashioned method of accepting payment: they're taking a checks. With a company named I4 Commerce acting as the middleman, many e-commerce sites now offer a "bill me later" option. I4 Commerce does a quick instant credit check and then allows the purchase (if the credit check goes smoothly). The buyer then receives an invoice a few days later which they can pay by check. I4 pays the merchant directly, so they don't have to worry if the individual pays or not. I4 claims that a very low rate (4%) default on their payments, but as one person in the article notes, that may just be because scammers haven't realized the potential yet. Also, the article doesn't note how I4 makes its money, and it seems likely that they're charging interest on these "bill me later" loans (as well as a transaction fee from the merchants using their system). Without any of the details being provided, it sounds a little questionable. There are an awful lot of "payday loan" type places that offer easy loans with ridiculously onerous terms. It's possible that I4's terms are perfectly reasonable (and the low default rate suggests that's true), but it's odd that the article doesn't clearly state what they are. Checking out their site turns up that there is, indeed, a 17.99% interest rate, but only for customers who choose not to pay the full amount within 25 days. So, the reality of this isn't so much that online stores are accepting checks, but that they're accepting "instant credit" provided by this one company.

AP - Many online readers must complete registration forms with various kinds of personal data before seeing their virtual newspaper. The requirement has irked some readers and privacy advocates, led to the creation of Web sites to foil the system, and could be failing to provide the solid demographic information the system was intended to capture.

DOJ Doesn't See Any Antitrust Violations

DOJ Doesn't See Any Antitrust Violations
In Failed Online Music Stores 12/23/2003 06:56 PM
The Justice Department has ended antitrust investigations into the music industry's early attempts at online music stores, MusicNet and Pressplay - both of which were seen as pretty disastrous failures. The original complaint was that the music industry was making it hard for others to offer music online in order to help boost sales of their own efforts. What happened was the industry's own efforts didn't go very far, and now just about everyone seems to be doing deals with the industry to set up download stores, so it's not too hard to see why the DOJ is shutting down the investigation. Of course, another investigation could be made if anyone decides to look into the question of why the industry is holding a universal line on the price per song download.

Why Online Music Download Stores Are
Half Full 01/19/2004 03:04 PM
For all the hype about the various music download stores, people are still (rightfully so) complaining that many are missing songs from popular artists, or that certain songs are only available at some download stores, but not at others. Here's a good explanation of all the contractual difficulties associated with putting songs online for sale at these download stores. Part of the issue is really just one of legacy contracts that didn't take into account the potential for downloadable music stores. While the musicians, lawyers, agents, and record label execs fight this all out, most people will continue to just use free file sharing networks instead.

Mac game publisher Feral Interactive last week posted a playable demo version of their forthcoming helicopter combat game Enemy Engaged. The demo has elicited questions from downloaders about how to actually play the game, so Feral has posted a strategy guide offering details on helicopter basics and how to complete campaign objectives. What's more, the company on Friday also unveiled its new online e-store system. Four specific stores have been created: North America, UK, Europe and the Rest of the World. Each store will show you the same selection of games but now displays in currency local to that region. Feral has also cut prices on many titles.

Canadian Recording Industry Trying To

Canadian Recording Industry Trying To
Kill Online Music Stores 04/18/2005 11:29 PM
It's almost comical to see each mis-step that the recording industry makes in trying to figure out how to deal with online music. The latest bizarre move is up in Canada, where the industry has been freaking out ever since a judge suggested that people downloading music weren 't actually breaking the law -- especially in light of the fees charged to all blank media sales to cover such copying. The various groups who manage such tariffs are putting in requests that would amount to appr oximately 40% of the revenue brought in from online music stores such as iTunes. Yes, 40%. You have to assume they're going on the theory that if they get to ask for some money for nothing, they might as well ask for a lot. Hopefully these fees will get thrown out, because if they don't, it will basically kill off legal music download stores in Canada and just send more people to the "free" alternatives.

Ah, those nutty video game companies. The latest publicity stunt, involves having people give out phone numbers and email addresses of their friends, and letting the video game company spam them with a text message or email telling them they have a virus. Anti-virus firms are horrified, especially as this follows up a number of over-hyped articles about mobile-phone viruses. The video game company, however, stands by the promotion, claiming that if people go to the website advertised in the "you have a virus" message, they'll realize it's just a promotion. Because, obviously, the first thing you do when you get a message telling you that you have a virus is go to the website it's advertising.
