I'm no expert but here is the break down. SPONSORS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR AFFILIATES' ACTIONS! It's that simple. A perfect example is if you spam Twistys then I get fined. I'm guessing the same would go with 2257. They follow the money trail and if I'm paying you and you are breaking the law, Guess what? My ass is probably on the line.

If you own a dot com. If you host in the US. If you have explicit materials on your site. You need to get your shit in order and comply. If not suffer the consquences.

Stop your whining and think about it for a second.
You are paid by the sponsors
Sponsors and paid by processors
Processors are paid by banks
banks are paid by visa.

Visa doesn't want to process for companies that break US law. To get paid you have to comply. That simple. These sponsors aren't screwing you over in anyway. They are doing what has to be done to survive.
