That wouldnīt help much because you can start with legit content and provide documents. An effective control would force CCBill to control documents for every single piece of content.

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 donīt think so. To control a random number of documents before activating the account is not really a barrier for clients with criminal tendencies. If CCBill would do so, itīs a matter of minutes for those clients to accomodate.

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.

DMCA seems to be the real problem here. All processors are acting within the framework of existing legislation. These laws have no bite. But we canīt blame the processors so far.
