I work for an online gaming company, which falls under this umbrella. Our US market is around 90% of our business, and if we're forced to close down shop to this big of a demographic, I'm afraid that we won't be able to make it, and I'll be out of a job.
The worse part is, this wasn't even a bill on it own. This republican ******* affixed it to a port security bill because he knew that would pass.
It's so frustrating when a group of right-wing conservative bible thumpers think that they know what's morally best for a population.

So, is the feeling in the industry that this ban can be effective? Or is there going to be an easy way around it? It seems that all the money goes through 3rd party financial websites like Citadel/Neteller/Firepay/etc. Is that enough to get around the ban?
