Informative post -- thank you.

It's interesting (and funny) to see how PayPal is still trying to position their DOJ "slap on the hand" as somehow connected to a positive business result for them.

Bullshit:

"...PayPal has also disavowed the sale of material for 'mature audiences', which it says poses a high risk of chargebacks, where a customer refutes a charge. Says a spokeswoman, 'We decided to focus on more traditional businesses'.

They would KILL to be able to get a piece of Neteller's business -- not to mention get back in bed with Adult.

But they can't, because PayPal is owned by a publicly-traded company, during (yet another) moment in the history of American commerce when xenophobia (as today embodied in the Patriot Act), and religious conservatism (ref. Janet's nipple) is more influential of American Business than the profit motive, or even sound business principles --

Meanwhile, Neteller's heading mainstream. Now tell me, who's smart.
