USA Peeing Video Banned?

Did the US of A sneak this one in?

All the Pee content from Kink.com (Kink Raw) and LegalPorno seems to have disappeared.

I've previously bought some of these, and had no problems downloading the titles.

Now appear to be gone with the wind, can someone check any US based sites with pee?

Thanks

Kink.com had to remove the pee content from Pissing.com due to a request from a credit card company. The rest of their pee content is still there - just checked.

LegalPorno.com apparently started blocking their customers with US IP addresses from seeing their pee content. My guess would be credit card company request as well, although I haven't heard anything official from them.

Unbelievable, so the freedoms of the USA are being held to ransom by credit card companies. In a country that has more privately owned weapons than the entire population of Asia, you can't buy something fairly harmless that will never hurt anyone. Where will this stop? I can see credit card companies stopping you from buying Japanese made products next, it's made here, you buy it here. How could this be suffered in this day and age,? did everyone just roll over and accept it?

Sorry, this just goes into the "only in America" fun bag.

Ok, so if I was a 3rd party, offshore, and accepted credit card payments, say for instance, Kink.com, with no info on what was bought, who bought it and where they lived, then paid the bank, would I then be an unacceptable business because I disclosed nothing?

We use these here, it works quite well, nothing glaring obvious appears on your statement and you get what you paid for.

I had one example a week ago, some guy tried to "fix" a company server, pretty much walked over it with steel capped boots, he hired me to fix it, and to cover it up, we used ozbill as a "miscellaneous debit", charged to his credit card, not his company's.

It is not the credit card companies, it is the government putting pressure on the banks to not do business with "unacceptable" businesses.

Yes, the government was responsible for setting this in motion, but it has taken on a life of its own now. It started under the Bush administration. Their wave of obscenity prosecutions was accompanied by a behind the scenes push on the credit card companies to refuse to do business with companies producing potentially "obscene" content. While obscenity prosecutions have fallen off during the Obama administration, the Bush era obscenity task force was promptly disbanded, and there are no more reports of the government pressuring credit card companies, the credit card companies continue to operate under the same new content rules that came into play under the Bush administration. That seems to have been the general feeling among porn surfers and webmasters alike for years - the credit card companies have remained as restrictive as ever.

I have a different perspective on the situation, since I have joined literally hundreds of pee sites, and I have actually seen payment processors getting more lax with their rules in the past couple of years. They rules haven't officially changed, but they are letting more content slip through the cracks. For example, M2F peeing is the type of content that the credit card companies go after most aggressively, and I have seen more M2F peeing published from American sites than in recent memory. Kink.com and LegalPorno.com are the exceptions, but that has been the overall trend. Maybe, without as much pressure from the government, the credit card companies are putting less effort into policing content.

Kink.com was a special case because they do not work with payment processors, they have their own merchant accounts with the credit card companies. So, that is one less layer of insulation between the credit card companies and the offending content. Plus, Pissing.com has been the subject of complaints from credit card companies for years.

LegalPorno.com may truly be a case of a credit card company pressuring their payment processor to limit access to the content. That is the most likely interpretation for the US specific IP block. At the same time, I still doubt that the government was involved directly in this.

Maybe if we get enough consecutive administrations in office who refrain from pursuing obscenity prosecusions, the credit card companies will catch on and stop wasting their time and money policing content.

Just confirmed, legalporno.com pissing videos are available from IP's outside of the US.
