This is part of an email that I just received from ibill, informing us that Visa is clamping down on illegal content.

"Keep in mind your site may not be involved in any illegal activity
and may still be at substantial risk. For example, an affiliate or
unrelated third party can register a URL, set up a site page with
appropriate meta-tags, and direct the page to open a window
containing your site."

I guess they are saying that Visa is unable to tell the difference between a link or frame to your site, and your site itself...

I was just musing to someone on ICQ the other day that it may not be long until Visa starts policing affiliates as well as the master sites. Is the sky falling yet?
