I spoke to someone at Visa regarding the use of Visa for pirate sites (tube memberships, file lockers, pay sites, and so on). Seems they have always been willing to help those who hold a copyright to their content. This is where to send it but you need to have detailed info on 1 - 10 on the list before they will help you. So copyright your content and go get 'em. Hit them where it hurts. Visa is a large portion of everyone's sales.

Report abuse here: www.visa.com/ReportBrandAbuse

What Steps Will Visa Take?

Upon receiving the above, Visa will identify the Merchant?s Acquiring Bank, forward #1 through 10 to the Acquirer, and instruct the Acquirer to initiate an investigation into its Merchant. If the Merchant does not stop the violation, or does not provide compelling, written evidence disproving the violation, the Acquirer will be expected to terminate processing Visa payments for the Merchant. If the Merchant provides written evidence defending its business activity, such written evidence will be delivered to the IP Owner for further discussion.

Maintaining trust in electronic payments in the face of intellectual property abuse is a responsibility shared by Visa, law enforcement and the IP owner. Visa takes IP infringement seriously, and will continue to work collaboratively with all stakeholders to prevent illegal transactions occurring over the Visa network.

Enjoy.
