PC - $650
High speed internet - $65/month
Swedish VPN - $12/month
Watching the latest movies before they hit the theaters - Priceless.
Some things mastercard can't buy, for these things and everything else, there is Vista.

My favorite part was when they said that anyone pays for pirated content. Always good to get a good laugh in at least once a day

If you own a mastercard or any type of bank/purchase card you should be able to buy anything you can afford with it regardless or if its legal or not.websites are fussy you cant go on a site like ebay and say i want this item i will send you the cash and you send me the item its all done electronically which sux.

It isn't even a purchase...it is a donation.
"As for websites located overseas, the bill grants the DoJ the power to force ISPs, payment processors like MasterCard or online advertising networks from doing business with them."
That is a little scary...the DoJ now has the power to control the actions of the banks, even their overseas operations? We all know this is useless for illegal websites...but it could be useful for fighting innocent websites like wikileaks.

Every major internet company as some kind of preasure, but really when you look deep into the internet. It is just like the real world, Currupt as.
Yes paypal supports ebay and other legal transactions but Paypal also supports just about 95% of piracy sites taking "Donations" to keep server running. With Google and Ebay being a Corner stone of their market so is small private sites using their services to find their operations.
For some company's to apply this restriction to their service means a big pay cut to their revenue like like refusing any customer there is going to be losses.
Mastercard is making a stand but i see they will loose support in the long run for not supporting the customers in secure needs across the internet. Either way if one service does not accept it another one will and they will take their clients.
Please don't change Paypal, we like your service :P

Paypal sucks! They cut off payments to Wikileaks and I shut off my paypal account soon after.
Paypal? More like Payscumbags!
