FNP = There is NO CHARGE for the intial 30 minutes preview. After the preview you will receive a 1 day trial membership for only $1.95(unless cancelled). Thereafter you will be billed $39.95 every 1 month(s) until cancelled.

The preview, trial and monthly fees are for SexUncensored, not for your FNP pass....

I believe one of two things will happen if this come true:

a) Like has been said many times, about 75-80% of AVS webmasters will drop out of the game and start submitting free sites to link lists. The remaining 15-20% will rake in the cash with AVS sales and upsells to sponsors. It is also very possible that the AVS that survive will start having higher standards for site submitted. Then surfers will start doing the AVS thing again and there will be even more money!

b) Most AVS allow potential customers to to join via online check now or via the phone. Maybe the AVS will realize the fact that they will be screwed and offer you a membership with an onine check instead of using Visa. Or you just use Mastercard and Discover card and say FUCK VISA!!!

Either way, I am a big time AVS user and I will continue to be if this in fact comes true because I realize that it will be like it was years ago when one AVS site could make you 5-10k a month with little work!

Visa is opposed to protecting adult content from being viewed by children.

Someone should start an ANTI-VISA marketing campaign, and warn the public of this atrocity in big business.

opposed to protecting adult content from children?

Bah, I can get a Visa debit card for my 12 year old from the bank that links to his savings account... there is no age verification with a cc any more in reality.

No one has said anyone is going to be made to pay additional fees yet.

My guess is that Visa is after someone, or somebody, specific, and just has to figure out how to put the screws to them... if everyone else gets hurt in the process, that's just the way it goes.

I think there will be some restructuring as a result of this. For example, since it's only avs, why not use a single domain, and use 3 subdirectories, one for each AVS? that way you only pay once.

Assuming you use the same AVS on all sites, of course.
