A PRNewswire-FirstCall story reports that the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a previous ruling in favor of Blockbuster Inc. and five Hollywood motion picture studios, saying that the studios and the movie-rental company did not violate antitrust laws. In June of 2002, Blockbuster and the movie studios were granted a directed verdict by the U.S. District Court in San Antonio, Texas, in a lawsuit brought by independent video retailers. The plaintiffs challenged Blockbuster's revenue sharing deals with the motion picture studios. The District Court dismissed the lawsuit on the grounds that the independent stores had not proved that Blockbuster broke any laws. Blockbuster has ... prevailed in a similar lawsuit in California. Dallas-based Blockbuster, a publicly traded subsidiary of Viacom Inc., has about 8,700 units.

Payday Lenders Evade Regulations reveals that a considerable number of payday lending establishments are not in compliance with the lax laws governing the [P]ayday industry in California. And lenders have not made any changes to the terms of their loans in order to accommodate consumers as their recent advertising campaign claimed. In February 2007, the payday loan industry's trade group Community Financial Services of America (CFSA) launched a $10 million advertising campaign in which they asserted their receptiveness to customer concerns. The industry said they will accommodate customers with appropriate postings in their establishments and provide additional time for consumers to repay their loans. CRC's findings illustrate that these alleged accommodations are not being made in California establishments.
