Engage has asked former customers of its defunct online advertising network to accept little more than half of what they are owed in back payments.

Ouch! 60% of already rock bottom rates, that's terrible.

"Legally, according to the contracts, Engage has to pay the total amount. But the risk for the publisher is that they could get nothing if the company goes bankrupt," according to the former Engage employee. "If you're a site, you either take the money or take the gamble."

I wonder how many might opt to try for full payment? When I have run into this type of situation in the past, I take what I can get and run with it. Half is better than nothing.
