Online funding legislation

There is nothing wrong with having a crate full of Chinese SKS's (cheap I know) buried in the backyard.

Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean its not justified. :P

Sorry, but your way off.

Freedom is not equal to limiting freedoms because the majority of the group wants it that way. Freedom is enabling the minority to act as they choose....of which this country has a long way to go to catch up with most of Europe.

I believe you just defined anarchy not freedom.

If YOUR Bank is a US Bank, you're done under this legislation. YOUR Bank will fall in line faster than Paypal at an Elliot Spitzer fundraiser.

It is YOUR Bank that will shut you off from Neteller or wherever, not actual criminal enforcement. Even if YOUR Bank doesn't shut you off, somewhere in the intermediary chain of banks there will certainly be a Bank that will shut it off.

If the Leach bill passes and becomes law, then you will not be able to use the US banking system, period.

(There IS a solution, but it will lack the widespread acceptance needed to support a market.)

Think Pokerscene and the Pokervault will come to the rescue ?

Jimbo,

I would agree, but Anarchy may be freedom in its truest state.

I'll take anarchy over a cage any day!!

[RollaJ]

It seems there is an easy solution.....
Deposit money before the legislation is put into law, then dont lose.

Just remember, the single most important part of the Constitution is the 2nd Amendment. Without the right of the citizens to bear arms, all the other rights can be taken away.

A true free society guards against the tyranny of the majority, and protects the right to be different. From my experience, Europe does not do that any better than the US does. Both sides of the pond are still learning.

While an incovenience, this really isn't a problem for us because we won't be able to deposit money. It's a problem for us because the fish won't be able to deposit money.

So what you're saying is that the majority of NETeller customers, those who don't use the service for gaming, will be screwed.

Oh, well. I'll just have to drive up to Canada, use somebody's address to open a bank account with a debit card, and use that.
