Paidcontent article on a very clever Walmart getting up to 40m Netflix customer details by losing a legal case
Did Wal-Mart Throw A Lawsuit To Get Access To Netflix Customers?
go here for the full article http://paidcontent.org/article/419-did-wal-mart-throw-a-lawsuit-to-get-access-to-netflix-customers/
Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) recently surged into third place in the movie-download business, barely a year after buying the startup Vudu. Now, the giant internet retailer may have scored another coup.
A new court ruling gives Wal-Mart a major boost in its effort to muscle in on Netlix’s streaming subscribers. A federal court in California late last week approved a class-action settlement that requires Wal-Mart to pay out $27.5 million. But here’s the key element of the ruling: Wal-Mart will be allowed to pay the 40 million Netflix (NSDQ: NFLX) subscribers in the form of gift cards for Wal-Mart.com—where there is prominent advertising for Vudu, which rents and sells movies a la carte..
The court ruling is a blow to Netflix, which had earlier blasted the settlement as “the equivalent of a marketing campaign that costs Walmart only 68 cents per potential customer.”
The class action came in response to a dinner meeting in 2005 at which the CEOs of the Netflix and Wal-Mart.com allegedly agreed to divvy up the DVD market. Consumer advocates say that under
In what now appears to be a shrewd move by Wal-Mart, the company reached a settlement with the plaintiffs in July. The court ruling last week gave tentative approval to the settlement. Under its terms, approximately 40 million past and current Netflix subscribers in the U.S. and Puerto Rico will be notified by email that they are entitled to redeem an online settlement card at Wal-Mart.com. Members of the class action can also choose to receive a check in the mail. The settlement states that claimants will receive their share of the $27 million, minus 25 percent legal fees.
In court filings, Netflix argued that the settlement effectively hands over its customer list to Wal-Mart at a time when the retail giant is trying to expand its online video offerings. In response, the court approved an arrangement that will see a third party, not Wal-Mart, manage the payouts. The procedures also say that Wal-Mart cannot keep track track of which people that register their gift cards on the site are class action claimants.
Still, the way the settlement is being carried out will likely increase awareness of Vudu as a potential alternative to Neftlix at a time when Netflix is facing some new challenges. In recent months, Netflix has failed to renew a key agreement major content provider Starz and announced a controversial plan that will significantly increase costs for subscribers who elect to receive movies both in the mail and a streaming service.
For the first half of the year, Vudu had 5.3 percent of the online rental-and-purchase movie market, behind only Apple’s ITunes, with a 65.8 percent share, and Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) Corp.‘s Zune Video Marketplace, with 16.2 percent. Vudu was more popular than comparable offerings from both Amazon (NSDQ: AMZN) and Sony (NYSE: SNE).
