Forget CCbill, this involves all the processors. Especially those willing to process porn.

Pirates steal a lot of business from porn sites by selling the content via a fast download connection and the affiliate payouts on top of this. If a fan on my pornsite wants to pay 33 Euros for 3 months access he can do, but if he can get that for $3. Why should he buy a membership?

So my two billers CCbill and Epoch just lost their slice of 33 Euros and now got a slice of $3.

OK I'm tiny and insignificant, but multiply this by 1,00s to get the picture. Piracy costs processors. They shouldn't need an excuse to can a site. Paypal are a different beast and we need to target them.

Take it up a gear and get mainstream to target the illegal downloading revenue processors and we might have found a chink in their amour. Then Governments might step up to the plate and make the profits of piracy a target for the losers.
