Needed: An RIAA for Porn

I really do feel sorry for folks, no matter what industry they're in, who get ripped off by copyright pirates. But this guys solution of suing Visa and MasterCard for infringement because they provided payment services to the theives is like the police charging the phone company with bank robbery because the robbers plotted the dirty deed over the phone.

The music business isn't the only industry plagued by Internet piracy: A pornographer sues a number of financial institutions, accusing them of supplying transaction support for other pornographers ripping off his content.
