People Accidentally Throwing Out Music Industry Checks
from the the-final-insult dept
Now that the music industry price fixing checks have gone out in the mail, some people are wondering where their check is. It turns out, however, that many people are confusing the checks with junk mail and throwing them out. The article quote a "veteran direct-mail operator" who points out that the check looks like typical junk mail. I have to agree. I almost tossed my check when it came. Though, I wonder how else they could have designed it so that it wouldn't look like junk mail.

EXACTEMENT MON AMI!
It would seem that getting a mass-mailer to Email out checks that you didn't want cashed, would be quite an effective system.

Irony
I filled out the online form for EVERYONE I knew their address for. ( about 30 people )
All of my friends have been talking about their checks and how they don't know why they got one. I've told them I filled out their names for them and they have thanked me.
The ironic part is either I pitched mine when it came or I still have yet to receive it.
