Simple fact is, you are leaving money on the table if you don't do it. Roughly about 5% more of what you're grossing without it.
FACT: If you have good content pirates will join via a check, rip your stuff and it will be over torrents and rapidshare before you even find out it bounced. So off the bat you have 30%. Now, figure in the damage that checks allow, and, the fees (which im sure you pay even if one fails or bounces) and you are looking at a miniscule profit margin. Also, all the pissed off affiliates who see tons of returns and negative amounts will leave you. So are checks still profitable? HELL NO.
