Trust me, I know who you are and I have respect for you and your company (and your stance on Mac vs PC), however I tink you are wrong in defending CCBILL in this situation. ESPECIALLY because you are a veteran in this industry.
I have processed with CCBILL for many years in the past (not small volume, we are talking a few 100,000US in processin per month) and I have partied with their crew at many shows back in the early 2000s.
However, what CCBILL is doing here is willingly processing for file-sharing sites. They have the right to do this. It is fully legal, they are protected by DMCA.
But it is still a stab in the back to the people that have been processing with CCBILL for 15 years and who are struggling because of piracy to see CCBILL processing for sites that are filled with pirated content. And CCBILL knows this, and all they say, business is business, if you have a problem just send a DMCA. By doing that they give a big fuck you to the industry that made them big.
In addition by processing for these file-sharing sites they take a risk of processing for illegal content. Everyone can upload whatever they want to these sites, and CCBILL is processing for it, so if someone decides to upload CP or bestiality (which is of course happening as we can see in the other threads) CCBILL is actively processing for this content. They know this, but do not seem to care.
