Dunno if you noticed... there has been a gradual shift away from US territory and into other global banking regions where the issue is not a problem. The gaming industry was already set up this way, but see adult going the same way. (We started almost.. 8-9 years ago).
Yea it's not a big deal to set up business off shore and so on. But that does little to help the fact that the worlds largest customer pool has been effectively taken out of the market in regards to online gambling.

It's the customer base that stuff like this will hurt. Sure they can't go after off shore companies unless they can tie you to the US somehow but what difference does that make if they cut your customers by 80%.

BTW in regards to porn I think it would be a bit harder, because porn isn't illegal but gambling is. But I could still see it happening.
