This still live on the CDUniverse site:


We have all heard a lot of talk about whether shopping on the internet is

safe. The main concern of online shoppers is that their credit card

information will somehow end up in the wrong hands......


....... What most people don't realize is that shopping with your credit

card is actually safer than paying by check. In the event that there is a

problem with your purchase, the credit card company will remove the purchase

from your bill and the on-line merchant is not paid. In the event that your

credit card number is stolen, the credit card companies do not hold you

responsible for any unauthorized purchases."
