Hi. I am writing because I don't see a way to directly edit my posts and I wanted to redact and/or add this disclaimer as a preface to my post about CCBill ID requirements for affiliates, Part 2:
Let me preface this by making it clear that I am not accusing CCBill of a specific criminal act. My position is that the collection of personal information (mandated by government or not, legal or not), for the purpose and reason given, does nothing to stop any real underlying crime (unless you believe being an affiliate webmaster is ipso facto criminal activity), but only enhances the risk of identity theft, which is usually juxtaposed with some type of fraud, making the policy an enabler of criminal activity.
