shouldnt everyone be more concerned with the effects of this suit rather than why they are doing it (who is right, will they win, etc)? i personally think that 3rd party processing will be a casualty of this lawsuit. the suit is a good thing becuz MC (& Visa) have been TOTALLY unjust in their practices against net merchants across the board (especially adult).
BUT this will ultimately squeeze out smaller companies that do not have or cannot obtain their own merchant account AND maintain the staff & other necessities to maintain an acceptable cb %. accountability is the issue here IMO & this is will end up being the ultimate big squeeze.
if you're using 3rd party, find other means of revenue. quick.
