nytimes.com — From NYTimes: "... credit card company Visa International said that it had suspended card service to the site, citing concerns over copyright issues." Since when has it been Visa's obligation to judge business morality? Will they also stop services to porn industries? Suggestions on where express displeasure with Visa?

So you're saying that artists should not be paid for their work? What's your IQ? Mine's higher I bet.

"What about a VISA Debit Card which many people use where you PAY VISA fees so that you can use their network."Ummm.... I have a Visa Debit card.... I've NEVER paid any fees.Regardless, read your contract. I'm sure it says somewhere on it that "we reserve the right to deny transactions we disagree with" or something to that extent.I use AllofMp3, I use my Visa Debit card on it, and I'm nowhere near upset like everyone who doesn't is.... They have the right to do whatever they want with their business. If some people don't like what they do with it, they can change to MasterCard or something. That's the beauty of free-market capitalism.

just as a note, most major banks in the US have stopped transferring money from debit/credit accounts to Online Casinos. I'm sure other banks will follow on this subject as well.

Does anyone else find this completely ironic?Russia was a communist country not too long ago. Russia is suffering economically to become a democracy (among others reasons). On the other hand, America has been a democracy most of its history. Why do we obviously need to control everything like a communist country? I just think it is ironic Russia is selling DRM FREE music and America’s RIAA restricts music with DRM. I think Russia has a better understanding of a democracy then America’s RIAA , MPA, VISA, MC and most of our government does. Hello RIAA - ALLOFMP3 proves people will pay for DRM free music. Wake up! People will always steal; we have not stopped shoplifters in stores. Stores have been around a lot longer then online music. EducateSell DRM free musicProsecute those who stealDone

The website I meantioned no longer has their story up. Don't bother going. My point is that the government has been trying to legislate morality using banks as their proxy... and they have been doing it a little while now. Bit nobody stood up and complained then because it didn't effect very many people at the time. a website here a website there... just nitche. Allofmp3 effects alot more people and I am glad to see the government's totalitarian actions being noticed alot more.
