lots of people getting scared, dont listen and don't worry..
if shit happens, then it happens, and theres nothing you can do about it anyways..
no way to prepare either (as seen with the fact that thhe IPSPs come down with the rules after the news).
the adult net will not vanish overnight, the changes occurring now I think are for the better..
when you have sites that trick the surfer into paying by them thinking they are getting something for free, and then noticing a charge of 40 bucks on their CC, of course they are fucking gonna charge back..
In fact, I salute Visa for making the steps, they are doing the right thing IMO.
As for the recurring model going away, I highly doubt that, thats like killing all subscription-based sites on the net, think about it, not even adult, those mp3 sites, news sites, etc.

Yes but the recurring for adult sites is all under high risk merchants doing mainly adult biz. Whats to stop Visa/MC from just saying "Ok no more high risk rebills" They have devided the industry into a corner with the whole IPSP bullshit now they can enforce whatever rules they want JUST on the high risk merchants IF THEY SO PLEASE. Weather they will or not is another story.
Personally so far I support what Visa has done, it gets rid of the fly by night webmasters who want to setup some bad sites and rip people off and get there checks before anyone knows, at least they are putting checks in place to stop the bad guys. Now they are trying to clean up the industry with the 1% thing, maybe soon we might have the whole industry selling memberships to customers at a reasonable price without all the shady billing tactics like cross sells and hard to read trials.
