This thread is about hitting piracy sites where it hurts, in their pockets. The best and easiest way to do this today is to target their income stream via credit card processors when they break the rules laid down by Visa.
So if a piracy site is distributing content that either of Visa, MC, JCB do not approve of. We send the processor proof of the link in the way of a screen grab. If this includes Under 18s, Scat, BDSM, etc. Then fine. It's not about the law, censorship or any other point some want to side track it with. It's about companies remain within the terms of the companies they need to do business with.
The credit card companies have rules they pass to the banks, the banks have rules they pass to the processors, the processors have rules they pass to the merchants. If those merchants are pirates and clearly ignoring those rules. We can target them with a deluge of notifications to their processor.
Rules are what you expect members to apply to, so can't be ignored when it comes to not suiting your situation.
As for following rules, this industry is piss poor at it.
