Let's not forget it's Visa and Mastercards right to tell who has their cards what they can use it for and it's their right to say what we can sell with their cards. So long as they stay within the law.
But are Visa and Mastercard hard on us because it's porn or the way they see us run our businesses over all?
Are they going to withdraw merchant accounts from porn shops, stop liquor stores selling magazines but not booze via a card? Is there another reason they are hard on us?
Could it be all the illegal sites, stolen/pirated content (Perfect 10 are currently suing Visa because of AVS site using stolen content charging via Visa) or the sites that are plainly a rip off (too many different schemes here to mention).
So look at it from Visa's point, are they happy or sad with the profits they make from the adult Internet or are they just anti porn and going to stop all porn business with a CC?
We know the answer to that.
Visa could have dropped us years ago, however they chose to stay with us and force us to put our shop in order. Seems reasonable to me.
