Today's Story Highlights

Consumers Win Some, Lose Some in Privacy Legal Tussles
The Walt Disney Company's recent decision to purchase major assets of
21st Century Fox in a transaction valued at $52 billion underscores the
huge potential for distributing information and entertainment via the
Internet. The deal will allow the company to improve its direct-to-
consumer offerings, Disney said when it disclosed the transaction early
last month.

Big Players Scored in the E-Commerce Battles of 2017
Moves that allowed major e-commerce players to jockey for position both
off and on the Internet made headlines in 2017. "The year was a triumph
for market leaders," said Mike Comstock, a senior adviser at
GrandCanals. "Leading companies like Amazon, Target and Walmart just got
stronger, as they have the resources to either build or buy whatever
they need to win."

6 Ways to Boost Your Mobile Commerce Performance
One thing the latest holiday sales season made crystal clear is that
mobile commerce is on the rise. On Cyber Monday, mobile shopping totaled
47.4 percent of visits to retailers' websites, according to Adobe.
However, etailers could do much more to milk the mobile shopping cow.
"Traditional mobile sites aren't designed for the way people want to
discover new products," said Qubit CEO Graham Cooke.

5 Ways Etailers Can Fight Chargeback Fraud
This holiday selling season may have been a good one for retailers, but
every silver lining has a cloud. One shadow will be cast by chargeback
fraud, which can occur when shoppers make purchases with a credit card
and then request chargebacks from the issuing bank instead of from the
merchant. "Merchants bleed $227 for every dollar lost to e-commerce
fraud," said NuData's Robert Capps.
