Credit Card trxns on Internet - new U.S. legislation

[Karatitis]

Question to all internet poker players:

I just started playing recently, a few weeks ago to be exact, and transferred $$ from my credit card to NeTeller, and then to my poker account....

...I was speaking to someone recently who told me that U.S. gov't is enacting some sort of legislation that will prohibit credit card trxns on the internet. Is this true? I'm in Canada, so I'm not familiar with U.S. laws, but aren't most of these poker sites based in Antigua and the like?

If so, it would seem that this law would effectively kill not only poker action, but purchasing any vendor products via the internet. Anyhow know about this, or shed some light would be greatly appreciated.
