Think about the bad things on people's credit: late car payments, medical bills, student loans... You don't have to be a credit card company to report to the credit bureaus.

As for economic feasbility, it may not be feasible for smaller players in the industry but it isn't necessary for them. If the giants like ARS, SIC Cash, etc, were to start posting and following a policy like the one suggested, word would get around. There's things that you learn as you go through life and you don't need to be told every single time. You know fire is hot because every other fire you've ever seen is hot. If surfers start seeing consequences for fraud, they will begin to believe it applies to all porn paysites.

To be fair, I don't know what kind of action big sponsors currently take with chargebacks. If they already follow a strict policy like what is being discussed, then my theory is all washed up but I doubt that's the case.
