No ass sucker, with a bunch of Amsterdam punks all bastard sons of Red Light District prostitutes we've been running more than 20 websites since 1997 and always lived by the rule that it's the credit cards that need the porn producers, and not the other way around. In 1997 we set up direct merchant accounts with (in this order) Diners Club (haha), American Express, Visa and MasterCard and at first they LOVED this new thing called netporn because they smelled the money, then they realized there are some risks being attached to this new development and they never found the right way to deal with it.
Imagine what would happen if all websites and adult payment processors would have their credit card processing accounts shut down due to chargebacks or inappropiate content of whatever? Who's then going to sell porn content to the public? Let me guess... those stinking Russian content thieves, who upload the stolen content to Rapidshare etc and they get an affiliate bonus and make some money. Then the public can download porn for free from Rapidshare, and some who want a faster download, will buy a Rapidshare account (using PayPal who provides their services to pirates but not to porn producers, where's the logic?). So this will go on for a year and what will happen next? The whole thing will dry up because nobody is producing new content anymore and then even the pirate industry dries up and then the only thing that's left to download is porn from the old days shared for free through torrents and that everybody has wanked on at least 10 times already. These content thieves aren't able to produce anything new because they're 14 year old punks probably or 30 year old nerds still living with their moms and the real porn producers quit producing because they can't make any profit because they can't accept credit card payments.
So think again... who needs who?
I'm getting so fed up with this credit card company arrogance and stupidity and for some sites I've set up gold member sections with better quality videos, exclusive content etc and accepting payment by bank transfer only and it's working. I jumped into this porn industry in 1991 because I wanted to work with naked girls and make some decent money, not because I wanted to be some puppet on a string pulled by credit card companies. At least 90% of today's web audience will NEVER pay for porn, then the rest may pay for quality porn and maybe 1% is EAGER to pay for porn and if they can't pay for their favorite porn using their credit card, they will go through the trouble of paying in an alternative way like making a bank transfer (wire). There's a new system on it's way in Europe, a one click bank transfer and I can't wait for it to be active.
It's your attitude that kills the porn industry: "we must obey to our Grand Credit Card Masters Or We Will Die - Shiver, Shiver!". But you're not a porn producer probably, so what do you know?
