I've been thinking about the least last post I made here and other than the spelling came to these conclusions.
We as an industry are judged as a whole not individuals, so when one of us does wrong we are all branded with the same iron. Are we judged as Hugh Heffners or Max Hardcores? It does not matter what we are it matters how we are perceived to be.
The Internet porn industry is the newest and by far the least regulated of all the porn industries.
So when it comes to bankers allowing their system to clear and collect money for us let?s look at the two arguments from the their side.
REASONS FOR.
More business and therefore more money. How much is debatable, some say it is less that 1% of their over all business.
REASON?S AGAINST.
It?s the porn industry. (Bad publicity)
Some webmasters sell illegal products. (Child porn.)
Some webmasters sell products into countries where they are illegal. (Beastiality, Skat, Urination, Rape, Incest, Porn)
Some of the legal sites are very close to illegal and highly distasteful.
Some sites carry pirated material. (AVS, TGP, MPG, Freesites, Newsgroup harvesters)
A lot of them do little to nothing to reduce it. (Adult Check was not the first company to say ?Nothing we can do?)
A lot of sites have great tours and little behind them. (Basically rip offs)
Some webmasters do little to pay tax or hold proper records.
A lot of webmasters Spam sites to unsuspecting email addresses.
So the next time someone shoots down a company like Paypal for getting out of porn let?s think about it from the other side.
If we clean up our act we may find we might be a bit more acceptable.
