It wouldn't get the money back in most cases but it would create enough publicity in the press to make people wary about frivolous chargebacks. Quickly.
NOOOO!!! You do NOT wanna do that. Although I sympathize with you the problem is there's lots of identity fraud. If Joe Sixpack's credit card is stolen by Slippery Smith, and Slippery Smith charges back a purchase from some porn site and some agency publishes Joe Sixpack's name and address, whooo nelly, you're talkin' bout a lawsuit even angels would fear to tread.

The adult biz is the first and most innovative on processing on the web. It's not the most criminal by any means. Believe you me, I've worked and do work in mainstream 'respectable' industries and the fraud ratio in comparison to the adult industry is by no means in the same ballpark. I don't care what the cc companies say. They're crooks to their hearts as it is.

Don't worry, as time goes by you'll see a security war like you've never seen before. It's high time somebody put the reigns on this credit industry and just look at the astronomical fraud case numbers of the past few years.

We've all got to take an active part and never team up with a crook. When you let him slide he'll slide right up under you.
