CCBill is not obligated to provide processing for everyone and anyone. It would be perfectly reasonable for them to ask for a random sampling of documentation from every potential client before they begin processing. No discrimination or favoritism there.
The above would prevent them from ever being accused of supporting piracy or illegal content. I don't claim to be a lawyer, but it seems like common sense and a practical way to avoid future legal troubles.
I have been happily relying on CCBill for years and worry about pissing them off by bitching here, but the fact that they allow multi-million dollars worth of transactions supporting pirate sites simply because the current law allows them to hide behind DMCA is very depressing. But they're making their cut so they have no incentive to do anything differently.
This problem can only be solved by the processors, and it's not fair just to single out CCBill, but if they won't self-regulate then what can content owners do to protect themselves? Currently the burden is entirely on the victims and there are no real repercussions for the thieves. When you're making big money off free stolen content, occasionally having to remove a few files is no disincentive.
CCBill is still processing for sites I've DMCA'd. So if someone from CCBill sees this, please visit this thread too:
