OK... so this is only one line in a Wired story. Before I start running around, engaging the panic circuits and yelling "I'm a teapot, I'm a teapot", can someone suggest where Wired got this idea from?

They got this idea from webmaster boards just like this one. They got this idea from webmasters just like those of you reading this thread.

I can make a educated guess that Wired did not talk to anyone at Visa or MasterCard. Both associataions want to be the curreny of the Internet and that means allowing their customers to buy what they want to buy. Of all the things that people charge to their credit cards, dirty digital downloadable pictures is not something the card assoications have any concern about. They only care about issuing cards, protecting their brand, and making money.

The sky is not falling for those who run legitimate honest programs. For those that do not, your time is short.
