face it, porn has a huge target on it's back, especially with the conservative wave that is on the upswing in the US. the bad is very magnified and the (relative) good is simply overlooked.

Exactly what I was thinking about saying.
This is the porn industry, do not expect a good press. The adult internet is one of the worse sides of the industry. Because of all the guys out there who treat it like a game.
Drive as many people onto a site as possible, then promise them the earth in the tour and deliver as little as possible. This seems to be the business model of many. Then a URL listing that is fictitious and no means of contact makes it all worse. If the CC processors insisted that we put in an email and contact phone number inside all site taking money it might be better. Also a clearly marked cancellation button might help.
There are many good webmasters out there delivering great value for money, but it?s easier and more sensational to write about the few scum bags.
The harder you make it for the scammers the better for all of us. Because kicking them out will just help the business. It will not lose any surfers it will help us keep them.
But look at some companies attitude to scammers. "So long as you do not scam me I don't care". Companies that refuse to take down content pirates, AC is just one of many, however them ending up in court did serve as a warning to others.
What about the hosts and sponsors that just say "Nothing we can do about it" Which is wrong it should be "So long as the guy makes us money why should we bother GFY"
