It really shouldn't affect anyone who is doing things legally ideally. But if some banks are doing it to sponsors I could see them targetting affiliates who cash checks as well. There is the "know your customer" deal that I believe was passed as part of the patriot act a few years ago. With it, banks are encouraged to ask questions in order to find terrorists, tax evaders, drug dealers, etc.

I will say as an experiment today I went to a BoA and cashed an affiliate check from a major porn sponsor and had no problems. In fact, I was treated like a king.
