You can only fight them, if you have your own merchant account, within the country the merchant account is located in. And then, only if they didn't use the service. People using 3rd party processors can do a damn thing. They don't even own the member.
You can not sue for password leaks, you can't prove you didn't get brute forced. You can't sue for seeding torrents, they did not sign a legal binding agreement, even more so if you allow downloads with no notices (which sites don't have). And when you introduce DRM, it introduces your legal rights. It then would be illegal to seed to the torrents. Courts know this.
We do not want 2257 used in this, we as an industry do not support the new 2257 laws which have been kicked back. We do not want to keep our records to the open level requirements that they suggest. People think they are compliant and got notices of violations which the DOJ could come back later on, at any time, or use it later for any other reason.
Support or using 2257 as a weapon is hanging our Industry by the balls and beating them with a bat.
