Also, what is your policy on multiple time copyright infringers who process using Epoch? Do you cancel their processing?

We have heard rumors. We have discussed this issue with Visa too. The situation is fluid. However, we have no formal notice nor do we intend to turn off any properly sponsored compliant merchant. The issue seems to be that Visa does not want their brand used to verify age. We continue to monitor the situation.
The second question requires a definition of Copyright Infringement. If we have a proper DMCA Notice, we require that the offending image be removed immediately. That being said, every situation is different and we handle these depending on the circumstances. There are not many DMCA notices or complaints that we see.
