After reading that and having a cup of tea my gut reaction is this.
Its a response to the gambling restrictions or they know the economys about to hit freefall and want to cash in before it does.
In my limited knowledge it seems its illegal for US companies to process unless they are a US owned WTF is that meant to mean.
Anyway splitting the EU off as a seperate company they will be able to route payments offshore as it where and avoid it being a US company doing the processing.
As for the adult bit if the worse happens and they did rush through a adult law similar to the gambling and no one noticed till it was to late then it will be ok because there will be Visa EU, ccbill EU and verotel plus whoever else to handle it so just have a few bucks ready to by a off the shelf company somewhere nice and friendly like up here in the baltics.
At the end of the day its all about the $$ the US cant afford for people not to spend money on porn or gambling mastercard didnt stop they just dont want it advertised to much.
Just my take on the current climate.
