I would not object if the payment is made through WELL KNOWN (note emphasis) third-party payment gateway (card number entry and transaction is performed by external web site, and the actual credit card information is never held by 2ch).
Of course, keeping extended logs on paying customer's activity was just a plain bad idea.
>>76 IMHO, the issue is that "shopify" is not very well-known here in Japan. If you were to proceed with shopify, you will need to invest in additional time to describe (make web page in Japanese) to the customers about the nature of third-party transaction gateways.
Also, AFAIK, shopify page only provides contents in English language. That might be problematic if Japanese user requires support from shopify regarding past transactions.
>>82=76 Even it third party transaction does not give you the transaction information, I will not feel secure using payment gateway that remotely links with personal information.
If you are going to support webmoney (you can buy them at convenience store without providing any personal information), I will gladly pay even if it is 2000-yen per month.
>>107 I have sent queries to bitcash whether they have documents in English.
According to their Japanese documentation, bitcash uses XML-RPC based API, and only two API call (verify payment ID, commit transaction) is required to make the transaction.
They can provide samples written in Perl, ASP, PHP, Java, C# ASP.NET.
The three symbols at the top of 2ch.net is almost like creative commons, but for fair use. ttp://www.bunka.go.jp/jiyuriyo/

Affiliates making money at the blogs will fall for "Copy OK" because the blogs provide the summary for free. They make money from the advertisements, however the content itself is given for free.
>>340 they use jargons to specify the drug name, and they post either throw-away email addresses or SNS contact IDs.
Usually we (削除要請板people) turn downs the request saying that "deleting post does not do any thing. The law enforcement should stop being lazy and hunt down the owner of the contact addresses."
All entries coming from "IHC" comes enforcement-related (note: they are retired law enforcement officers sucking money from the government for doing sloppy job).
>>354 the people who are watching 2ch are subsidiaries to the law enforcement, and they do not have the power to act as law enforcement officers. ttp://www.internethotline.jp/mobile/about_en.html
The Japanese Law Enforcement itself lacks personnel knowledgeable in handling the issues.
Also, since log files disappear shortly after deleting articles, we are forced to keep the article on the 2ch server just in case somebody may want to look at the log file. So, for all law, court, and lawyer related deletions, we are asking them to upload a PDF file noting that "no more log storing is required" to Japanese servers.
Since Japanese Law Enforcement is unable to upload PDF to their servers, we are usually unable to serve them.
The reason why hiroyuki allowed copying was because copying goes both ways. (There were also issues about printing matome-books).
If we are to forbid copying from 2ch, it will in turn make it difficult for us to copy from other sites (e.g. news sites, external non-matome blogs of worth interest).
>>677 Tamon appoints people who can post news in news+ type boards. There are rumors that he makes profits from his position, since he turned down offer for bribery in the past by saying "if you can pay more than what they give me".
Of course, it might be just zero (old proverb says, "nothing is more expensive than free!"), we do not really know.
I personally like him because of his eccentric behavior.
