I don't think anyone here has said they particularly like the things that Visa dumped, the issue has always been where they started and where they might stop. Or not stop.

I hear ya KK, but I'm a little confused.....? Okay so maybe you're saying that all porn sites are illegal including mine? Never thought about that... I just figured that what I am doing with my site is legal because well, I don't break any laws that I know of. But I suppose pornography is technically illegal/obscene and that is what you mean.
I will also add that there are a LOT of things in this industry that personally I do not endorse, yet I recognize the fact that they are legal practices and thats the way it goes (as in girls who don't read the fine print). I often hold back and refrain from even giving my opinion in these matters because it is out of place and does not matter.
However, if these non-nude teen sites are legal, then uh why was that guy arrested? THAT is what makes me nervous.
But hey, I do understand business and well, business is business. Ccbill really doesn't owe anyone an explanation on this.... but perhaps these incidences can help us to define a better understanding of what works and what does NOT work for this industry. Maybe that guy really is a good person, and thought he was doing something perfectly legal with all the right intentions..... he was obviously using services from big companies who did not see any wrong in what he was doing, but BAM! arrested. And now even if this guy was in church every sunday and a good citizen, because of the blurry, undefined niche he was selling his life is pretty much done.
The sad part is that the judge who's gonna throw the book at him probably jerks off to dogs and frequents the yahoo teen chat rooms.
Damn its an ugly world. Who's to blame?
