  1. What the US can do is try to 'firewall' any site not complying with US laws.
  2. There is something called a "long arm state statue" in the US federal Court Districts. However, this is rather narrow and probably would not work -- if it did work; if your server was in the USA the court could accept an in rem action (action against property -- not a person personally served) -- resulting in the seizure of your server and any other assets in the USA, or controlled by a USA business like VISA and Mastercard.
  3. The US government could order VISA and other credit card associations as well as US based money center banks and foreign banks operating in the USA not to do business with you -- VISA is global but US owned so such court order would apply to their foreign operations -- this is how they crippled backpage.
That was my point. Firewalling sites is as difficult unless there are people monitoring people's computers to see if they're accessing via a proxy/VPN. Then there are a mass of issues.

Controlling Visa/Mastercard is an opportunity for Payoneer to grow into that market. And more issues of the Government trying to be huge censors. They will shout and do little but go after a few individuals they can slam dunk. Max Hardcore, watch your back or leave.

As far as the independent cam girls -- they are to be left to their own means.
A basic sitebuilder is very doable. RTFM, that is their training. They could make a deal on their own to pay for help -- like a webmaster to assist them or to engage their own affiliates and set the split.
Agree 100%. The key is not taking too much of the money. Take too much and the girls will go alone. Best bet is to train them to market themselves. This is a slam dunk for those girls who will and the girls who won't/can't. They can take the affiliate route.

A webmaster isn't needed these days beyond building the site and once it's built. He's gone. A set up of what Wordpress do for bloggers, webmasters can sell the same site with personal twists over and over again. Tomorrow is a new era which needs new ideas.

Your biggest problem is getting it out to the girls who work from home.

Read the Fucking Manual doesn't cut it. It works for machines that are all the same, teaching models properly is slightly different. They have to produce promoting content that's better than webmaster level. It's down to boy meets girl and falls for her, in the real world. You must know girls who outsell the rest, they have the key.
