Hello.. Hope we're not breaking any rules or being rude or anything by starting another thread..... Maybe we should ask ourselves "what are we getting into here?" We would like to know your thoughts on the news I found out earlier today...

This goes beyond another crack down per se... since Mastercard says "comply with "all MasterCard standards" and prevent using MasterCard for "any illegal activities" - including online gambling, porn, and prescription medications." it would appear that they are lumping all porn into illegal activity.

If Mastercard pulls an AMEX this could be disasterous... especially since Visa would essentially carry the CC monopoly for the adult Internet and know that many business people would be at their mercy. Thoughts anyone?
Also.. (pasted some copy from adult forum post that seems to concern a few people):
The Los Angeles Times Reports that Bush has appointed one of the leading opponents of the adult industry TO PROSECUTE ON LINE PORN!


Summary of Article:

The Justice Department has quietly installed an outspoken anti-pornography advocate in a senior position in its criminal division, as part of an effort to jump-start obscenity prosecutions.

(The new prosecutor) has been the president and chief counsel of a group active in writing federal legislation outlawing indecent material on the Internet

The Bush administration's election-year move follows three years of heat from the Christian right.

The appointment of a tough new cop on the porn beat and other recent moves by the department to bolster obscenity cases are leaving representatives of the adult-entertainment industry to wonder whether they have become a political football.
