If we would just get on-board with smartcards, hey 30 years late is better than nothing, then chargebacks would be a lot harder to justify. With the system the way it is, the card processors eat a little loss from "fraud", and then use that as a justification to exert editorial control over what industries they want to process payments for, because there's a lot of "fraud" in them.
