I am just not believing this. Over the last ten days, I have seen several people post urls to companies that will incorporate you in the US, be your agent in the US, get you bank accts and tax ids in the US... most of which seemed to be in the 500 dollar range complete.

For non US webmasters who were potentially going to be affected by all these regulations to have sat and done nothing basically, then start screaming about it at the 11th hour, is unfathomable to me.

It would seem the prepared businessman would have spent the 500 bucks or so it was to get something firm as a backup ready, and then not use it if need be, especially if there are large numbers of rebills on the line. Get it done, if you need it you had it, if not, well you were only out the 500 bucks, a small price to pay to be prepared.

I also have heard for the last year or two that Australia has laws against internet pornography, so why in the world would Aussie region banks start processing for it, if it's not really even legal where they are?

Or at least taken the other route and gone with some of these guys who claim they can slide you in under the radar, if you don't have many rebills, and then wait and see how long it takes for Visa to terminate them.

Of course it is up to everyone to run their business how they choose, and we just ante'd up 750 bucks to multiple processors this week, which doesn't help the bottom line this month, but to do nothing, based on possibles, is just beyond me.
