I was trying to focus specifically with online purchases and online spending.

Obviously since the birth of Ecommerce, Visa/MasterCard have reaped the rewards. I certainly understand that ecommerce is extremely far from making the same kind of money that regular day to day retail stores do around the globe.

But I would still think Visa/MasterCard make a pretty penny from online profits and that a sizeable chunk of those profits are made from porn.

I'm trying to look at the situation in a logical manner, especially since we've all read some conspiracy theories that Visa/MasterCard will pull out of porn.

I would think Visa/MasterCard make too much money and stand only to gain even more money as more people go online.
