Yeh bite the hand that feeds us. Real smart logic.
OR, the CC companies will limit themselves to face-to-face sales, in which case Internet businesses will be *fucked*!

I have a friend who was so glad that "those bastards at such and such company are getting sued. I hope they are forced out of business!" My response was, "In that case, I hope your grandmother's retirement fund is heavily invested in that company so that I can say 'Be careful what you wish for.'"

This doesn't even get into the grief of the employees of the company who don't get raises, are forced to work longer hours or to do more work in the same time or even get fired.

Unfortunately, whatever you do has unintended consequences.
