If we stood together and ALL refused to pay and said lets go visa only, then chances are MC would reverse there decision. Lets face it they are not going to want to loose the millions they would loose from people opting for Visa cards to buy porn.
BUT
The porn biz never sticks together.
So what we will see is people thinking, I will pay it as its only $500 and if my competition goes bust , so what. Then next year Visa charges $500, then MC puts up costs to $1000 and so on.
Also affiliates will be short term and say they will only promote sites that include MC as they ONLY see it as what affects them. Affiliates will not care if the site makes a profit or not, only what they can make.
In time sites will shut. And even the big sites will end up closing.
However the tube sites will do great as no one will be left to sue them. All the free content they want.
