That is what Paypal has said.
And that is not likely 100% true.
The problem with the online porn industry (which I know little about) setting up something in this case likely has more to do with the online porn industry being focused on video, and in multiple nations/states/etc. This is likely not a problem to them.
It'll get solved, likely by someone inventing some middle currency or "gift card/points" system.
