If a site like Megarotic/Megaporn can get credit card processing for a bunch of stolen contents, I don't know how you can stop any stolen site from using any other processor.

In fact, I think that if you somehow are successful in yanking the site cc processor that stole your contents, they probably will be pissed and post your shit for free and that's the last thing you want them to do.

Anything that is on the internet is stolen and not just porn but from say music and movies to even college essay and written exams can be found. I don't think any internet business can operates without losing some % of their revenue from stole contents. If you are a paysite owner your not the ONLY one losing money, billion dollars company like SONY, NBC, FOX, etc is losing money from stolen contents too. I think it a fact of life.
And this is the biggest problem. Pirates do not have to use CCBILL. They can use Commercegate or any number of processors who really don't care. I met the Commercegate reps at a show a few years back and they wanted my business. I told them not while they support sites like Megarotic that have stolen content. Their response was a joke. The rep told me they did have a problem with Megarotic in the past but now it's cleared up and fine. When I told them they allow surfers to upload content they replied I have no way of knowing a surfer does not own the video he's uploading!!!!!

They don't care, turn a blind eye and take the money. We as an industry are not united enough to do anything about it. We complain about piracy and post on boards that allow people who are pirates or support them to post, promote and even advertise their sites.

United we stand, divided we fall.
