I'm glad CC Bill is stopping processing for File Lockers.
Here's my further thoughts:
1. It seems to me that they wouldn't have stopped if so much anger hadn't been expressed from their clients after they were called out.
2. They still don't seem to care about PIRACY. And haven't expressed any intention to NOT process for PIRACY (they are only worried about getting in trouble with visa and mastercard for the illegal content on the sites they have stopped processing for). So they still are indicating that they feel it's okay to process for other types of pirate sites as long as there is no banned content type on the site.
3. This thought goes out to people who have given the opinion that the people who go to pirate sites will "never pay anyway"
Looks like that idea is BULLSHIT (as those of us who have been in this business for a long time already knew). They WILL PAY and did pay. That's what CC Bill was processing for these file lockers. Our EX-customers who gladly still pay for porn. They just want to have ALL the porn in the world for one price (because it's all stolen and has everybodies complete sites in one deal)
So YES...if some of you out there are still mistakenly thinking that people won't pay for porn...this whole episode should open your eyes that YES there are plenty of people who are paying. If the laws change and this stealing is stopped...these people will still want their porn and they will pay the rightful owners to view it.
