From what I've read online, I
was under the impression that B&N had been pretty responsible with the CC# storage. Since they
also use the name on the card, they wouldn't even need to use the full card number, they could use the last 4 digits, for instance. The point of their DRM is to prevent easy copying, NOT to hunt down violators.
But then again, as this thread has demonstrated, DRM strategies can change within a company without that information always flowing down to everyone. *cough* PID *cough* So it could have changed or I could be wrong.
EDIT: Furthermore, I only use a B&N card for B&N purchases, and I watch that sucker like a hawk. *sigh* I suppose I could get a Pottermore card, but I don't think it's worth the effort.
