When the VISA rules came out, the industry was over. No possible way to get under 1%, chargeback hell, people getting flagged, refunds under 2%.. This was it, the industry was going to change.. But years later, we find out the you can process of shore, live in the US, split up accounts, use safe processing to keep cb?s low, etc.. The industry didn?t even change much other than the shady fucks had to straighten up a bit.

Spam laws, same BS different day.. Ended up, if you have double opt in, white lists, low t no complaints, your ass is fine.. If you spam, you get nailed.. Simple.

Then, 2257.. Again, we are done as an industry, no possible way to comply, no possible way we can get records in order. But we did, and now we are getting some changes. Fact is, we still can comply, the works sucks, but it can be done.



.xxx, probably the bitch of them all. Stand a ?chance? that VISA could regulate us but chances are that it wont happen. VISA has been found to be a monopoly by the Supreme Court, they don?t want to take us on just as much as we don?t want to take them on. GOV?s could block .xxx, but who is going to force us to move? Every country, The UN? VISA rules? In every processing region?

Why fill peoples mind with total fear of a possible outcome. If you are against it and don?t want it to not happen then pull the industry together. Fight it, take it to court, how can we donate? Who is fighting? Is it a group of guys arguing on a board or in a conference room?

So how do we block it from happening? I?m tried of reading about how bad it is for us.. If we have grounds to fight it, then lets fight.



As a side note, Internet lawyers, can take a hike on this issue.. If we have to fight VISA because of .xxx we will need real lawyers experienced in dealing with VISA.. VISA has been sued, and lost. It can happen again.
