The FBI has already gone through parts of the DVD industry, where I also work. They would only ask for a movie here or there, not all of them. Sometimes just a scene. It's the same thing.

I had to pull it down or lose my processing with both. Questionable content.. not illegal, questionable.
No proof, no nothing... pull it down or that's it.
So we checked with our own merchant account... didn't make a difference, issuing bank didn't allow it either. Again, the TEXT was legal.

That sucks. Sorry to hear that.
Hey, if the rules change and I can't play by them, I will move on to something else. If nobody will process for me, it may be a blessing in disguise and I would do something else. I'm not attached to anything, other than my own personal beliefs and morals, which can change at any time, with or without notice. lol Well, I have a lamp that I'm pretty fond of, but this business, I could probably do without if that day comes.
However, If better safety measures were put into place and processors and billers worked with law enforcement to check a models age, I would be OK with that. I trust the law when it comes to this matter, I don't trust the people in the porn industry.
