Let's face it ... Mastercard is practically the equivalent of God. If they cut us off ... we're dead.
Ibill has been hit with the same fines recently --- and they're already in financial trouble. PayPal bailed all together, but at least they have Ebay.
Because we're in adult, the industry should have kept things cleaner actually because we're always under scrutiny.
Do you really think a judge is going to sympathize with us and care about our arguments?
I doubt it.

Here are my thoughts on that subject:
(Insert Rant Here)
WTF is the difference? The law is the law. If your house gets robbed, the police come, you file a complaint and the judicial / enforcement bodies take over on your behalf. The same is true if your dildo shop is robbed. ?They? may not be as interested in your loss of dildos from your shop as they are in your blender from your house, but you are entitled to due process - regardless.
In business, it is the courts system. Wal-Mart sells Playboy, condoms, whatever. This is business and there are laws. The judges are surprisingly disinterested in our business or our client?s. In Paycom?s opinion, MasterCard violated a number of laws and continues to put our BUSINESS at risk. So we sued the shit out of them. The courts have already decided MC is a monopoly, so there is no fight there. They have to go into court and explain how it is they calculated our fines and how a chargeback from a porn site is more expensive than a chargeback from Amazon. Why is a credit a bad thing again? The list goes on of these and other unanswerable questions by the Defendant (I love that term) MasterCard.
So, my opinion is that it will not make any difference. This industry can?t and should not hide. Fuck that. If anyone is ?afraid? of what people, courts, judges, whomever think, then get out. If you are feeding your family, employing people, not robbing, shaving, scamming, spamming or deceiving consumers, stay in, get involved and say ?No Fucking More?!
But that?s just my opinion, I could be wrong. (I don?t think I am.)
