it's cool that the sky is actually not falling (right now)... but stop thinking that the adult business matters anything to visa and MC... all they have to do is say "phew" and we're done... even if all webmasters, providers and sponsors unite, they can't do shit if those companies decide to cut the plug...
That sums it up... think about it porn is a very small % of what visa and MC actually process. Bigger merchant account providers won't process porn, I believe the top 5 dont process porn (I know first of omaha for sure does not)

I do not think they will stop processing all together, but the 3rd party thing will be the first to go. You'll be better off and well positioned for the future if yo get your own merchant account, pay far less fees, etc.

BUT, if this is the case you could definately make the analogy that a few bad apples ruined it for the rest of us. 3rd party's should really crack down on some of the bullshit they process for. Remember visa and mc have an image to protect and the being involved with borderline CP, beasteality, etc only hurts their image.
