So CD Baby initially sent users' CC information via email...

  Keep in mind none of the 'secure vault' type services of today existed in 1998, and PCIDSS didn't exist until 2004.

    Fair enough. I was only 11 in 1998 so I don't have any idea what the fraud/security situation was like (and should have thought about that before posting criticism). I'm sure CD Baby made the transition to more secure methods as soon as it was more apparent that sending CC information via email was a bad idea. I was just surprised to see that, since it's such a well known Bad Thing now.
