What do you think happens when a site tries to get ccbill approval and has questionable pics. Do you really believe ccbill just approves everyone because it is not their job to be content police ?

bullshit !!! they have a choice to approve or deny these sites, your choice is to send in documents to prove or to find another processor.

so are the rest of us.
As Corvette has said when they get a DMCA notice they get the offending site to remove it. I think if they waited for 3 or 5 to act they might find themselves in trouble with the law on DMCA, not a lawyer it's just my understanding of it.

The problem is the lack of communication between content owners or licensees. When a site steals from one it could be stealing from many many more. But CCBILL only get one DMCA. If CCBILL got a DMCA from every one who is having their content ripped on these sites they would be forced to act.

However if you took on CCBILL as a processor knowing the way they run their business you accepted it. If you feel very strongly, move it away and if enough did that CCBILL would change. If you stay then you accept their ways.

Trying to change them is good, but there are better ways, but it needs us to take the initiative.
