"the people signing up for them are more often "bad guys" than tech professionals looking for privacy"

I think this is always a bad argument to make. By that same logic they'd be banning all torrent sites, too, and a lot of other stuff, possibly even Bitcoin.

I think these VPN's should sue Mastercard and Visa, just like Wikileaks did, and won. They can't just decide "who is the bad guy" and ban them.

If torrent sites and bitcoin accepted credit card payments, and a significant fraction of those payments involved stolen credit/debit cards (significantly harming the true owners of those cards even with liability protection), merchant account providers should have the right to not do business with them either.
