    f Visa and Mastercard have banned all MindGeek and next ban the WebGroup (xVideos) sites this is a list of the production companies are apart of them:

    MG - Brazzers, Digital Playground, Mile High Media, Property Sex, Babes, Twistys, Reality Kings, Fake Hub, Metro, Deviant Hardcore, Squirted, etc plus the MyDirty, Clips4Sale and ModelHub platforms

    https://www.adultforce.com/client.html#/network/

    Add in all the brands owned by WebGroup - Penthouse, Legal Porno, DDF, Girls Gone Wild, Private, Girlfriends Films, Bang Bros

    That is over half of the content that is shot in the US and Europe and models, since models will have no work these will affect every producer as they won't be able to make a living shooting porn and will not get in the industry.
    Girlfriends Films is still part of Fame Dollars / Gamma Entertainment.

        With that much content, why don't you open your own site?

        Could it be that you are worried because of the type of content you have?

          I've been listening to this sort of fear-mongering for 20 years. They couldn't shut down porn if they tried, they are simply trying to regulate what porn is sold. The more extreme and illegal has cause to fear, the rest are fine.

            I hope so as my porn career is over if I lose my tube cashflow. I will sell everything.
            Your Tube income will be replaced by a paysite income. All the paysites have to do is work within the law. Those who want to make money from working outside the law have to be worried. The rest carry on as before.

                  All this fuzz isn't about porn. It's about user uploaded porn, which includes some illegal videos.

                  Visa/Mastercard never really liked that, that's why Pornhub.com never was selling memberships and processing credit cards - only PornhubPremium.com was.

                  This is not good enough for VISA/MC anymore after all this bad press.

                  Tubes will have to stick to legally licensed content that has a clear owner and producer on file, that's all.

                    Just a FYI but every industry has shake ups every three years. That is life.

                    We are forgetting one side of this in that customers want porn and neither visa or MC want the customers to learn a new way to pay for things. They will sort it out so that plastic is the accepted method.

                      Exactly this
                      All the big tubes have there premium/studio content on slightly different URLs as they know they would never get billing for the content on the free tube content they offer.

                      Looks like that simple workaround has now backfired.

                            Perhaps Mindgeek should be thankful they got hit by VMC rather than a government raid. When that article came out, I tested the searches they mentioned. Zero results. So PH cleaned that crapfest up fast. Go look for a Tracy Lords video on there. They used to all be on there. Now, not a one. So maybe that article and this situation was a blessing in disguise for Mindgeek. it obviously got their attention and they cleaned things up FAST versus ignoring it for YEARS.

                              I do have my own sites that are run by Gamma, but like everyone who still actually produces porn we do business with Mindgeek

                              This is bad for the entire industry from both a financial and public relations standpoint
