RIAA, MPAA Recruit MasterCard As Internet Police 421
An anonymous reader writes "Two weeks ago, MasterCard felt the wrath of Anonymous Operation Payback-style DDoS attacks after refusing to process payments that were intended to fund WikiLeaks, the website which began leaking confidential US diplomatic cables last month. Now, the company is preparing to head down another controversial path by pledging to deny transactions which support websites that host pirated movies, music, games, or other copyrighted content. MasterCard lobbyists have also been in talks with entertainment industry trade groups, including the RIAA and the MPAA, and have made it clear that the company will support the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA), sources close to the talks have said."

Most girls are whores.
The above statement doesn't imply that I pay for sex,
That statement doesn't but I'm betting you have to pay anyway.
or have sampled most girls (but I have),
Sneaking up behind them to try to smell them doesn't count, Don Juanon.
or that the girls that I've had sex with charged money.
I'm sure they not only charged you money but made you pay for their steam cleaning & psychotherapy after.
