We're the adult industry --- not Wal Mart.

Notice the request for a jury trial for starters
You find me 12 people that can sit on a jury and have either never had a problem with a cc company or never charged back a porn membership because their wife found out and I'd say you were on Mars ;)
Yes, we are the adult industry, but you know what? It's in Wal-Mart, Home Depot and Mom 'n' Pop Business owners best interest that this case goes to trial... which it wont. Established precedent on discrimation and unfair trade practices like this help merchants, not hurt them.
This is not about adult industry billing practices, this is about specific things that Mastercard has done to a compliant merchant. If Mastercard would like to bitch about the way we do business then they'd be well off to go ahead and file a counter suit now.
Bottom line is that MC or Visa going thru discovery is like you or me giving birth to a 12 pound baby. It doesn't feel good and if there's anything surgically to be done to make it happen faster and with less pain, we'll do it.
Including settling.
