ZENRA Sites that survive the test of time including the ever-changing legal landscape are the ones that have always erred on the side of caution.
Legalporno is there since like forever. It has been there way before SLR and it probably will still be there when SLR is already gone. Are they on the side of caution? I wouldn't say so...
ZENRA It sounds like you don't realize how these card companies operate.
To me it seems like that you don't realize that there is a whole world beyond America and its companies and its evangelical politics. And that's actually the whole point of this thread. It's NOT about America. It's about making a European company for European customers - under the same corporate umbrella. I don't know exactly how you guys started your Japanese endeavour but I guess you have some legal entity there as well.
ZENRA Visa/MC rules are global.
American credit card companies in Europe are operated under European law with European management. I don't think credit card managers in American even give a shit about their international business as along as its profitable. In America they care due to religious lunatics that regularly crusade against porn. In Europe, almost nobody gives a shit. That's the difference that people in the US usually simply don't comprehend because they are so centered on the US.
ZENRA However, laws are laws and if you have real issues with the types of adult content a site like SLR and many other legit sites can show, it's the rewriting what is obscenity for starters that needs a looking at. Complaining to paysites, billers, card companies is easy because it's in one's face but a real change requires at the very least reaching out to politicians from the local level upward.
There is no such obscenity law for porn in most European countries. People just don't care. That's kind of the point...
