I don't believe for a New York second either Ron or Stephanie as owners would not cease processing or hosting upon discovery of criminal activity or any activity which does not meet the compliance requirements of card associations.

Brad, I met you with 3xTom in Vegas, and I liked you. I am a Mojohost customer. Even if I were not, I think you have integrity.
But I also think you are wrong in regards to CCBill. I think it's been proven enough recently on this board alone that they are processing for things that are not compliant with card regulations.
I also think that they are pissing in the faces of small programs that made them a fortune. In those instances, they may not be processing anything criminal or non compliant. But they are profiting from stolen works.
Just because they were a trusted company for a long time doesn't mean that their stance of hiding behind DMCA is any better than someplace like Pirate Bay or a ton of file sharing lockers doing it.
