Martha Stewart's E-Commerce Store Gets Locked Up Too
from the going-to-jail-sale? dept
While Martha Stewart's company said it would be able to handle Martha's jail time without too much trouble, apparently, it's difficult to run an e-commerce operation from jail. The company is shuttering its online operations to focus on its offline businesses. This seems like an odd time to close down an online store -- just as e-commerce is really catching on again, and more people are getting comfortable with buying online.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
