A Message from CCBill - GoFuckYourself.com

ccjax · 06-14-2012, 06:09 PM

To our friends and colleagues:
CCBILL HAS DISCONTINUED ITS PROCESSING RELATIONSHIPS WITH FILE LOCKER WEBSITES.

Effective immediately, CCBill has discontinued processing for all file locker websites. While CCBill continues to back the business models of our client base without bias, it has been made aware of multiple instances involving content residing on various client websites which violate our Acceptable Use Policy (AUP).

Due to the sensitivity of the matter, CCBill conducted an exhaustive internal investigation with the goal of determining the validity of claims concerning the breach of our AUP. Following the investigation, CCBill decided it can no longer provide transaction services to businesses operating a file locker model.

From inception, CCBill relied on the ability of file locker websites to actively monitor incoming uploads from external sources and immediately remove any illicit files thereafter identified. It has become clear that such a task is both difficult for website operators to accomplish and nearly impossible for CCBill to verify.

CCBill would like to thank those individuals who have provided examples of content existing on file locker websites which is in violation of our AUP. We are all part of this community and we believe it is our collective responsibility to maintain core values and ethics within the adult marketplace. CCBill has, and always will maintain its high standards in dealing with copyright infringement, illegal content and all aspects of our AUP.

CCBill holds client privacy in the highest regard, and under no circumstance will we discuss specific details related to any previous or current client relationship. We respectfully ask for consideration of these policies, and thus please do not ask us to betray this trust.

awesome!

BSleazy · 06-14-2012, 06:10 PM

Good news

candyflip · 06-14-2012, 06:10 PM

Probably a good idea for you on more than one front.

selena · 06-14-2012, 06:13 PM

That is welcomed news.

PXN · 06-14-2012, 06:15 PM

Thanks goodness for this message.

AsianDivaGirlsWebDude · 06-14-2012, 06:16 PM

Awesome!

The fight has just begun...

Imagine if ccBill and more importantly, the adult producers, set aside a small percentage of their income to fight piracy in a unified way, including class action lawsuits, what a difference we could make.

Rather than patting ourselves on the back and cracking a beer, let's roll up our sleeves and build upon this, so that we all benefit - this was a small battle, we still have a war to fight!

GOOD JOB! WAY TO GO!!!

you know what...fuck that. You guys only did it because you were taking shit from every direction. If no one would have said shit you would still be billing for them with a blind eye and if anyone can't see that they are blind stupid and retarded.

BlackCrayon · 06-14-2012, 06:38 PM

You probably have little idea how much of a difference this makes to many people in our industry.

I think that those of us here with the ability to think and use logic would not dispute the valid points in your argument.

However, I'm just glad that the policy changed, no matter what might or might not have otherwise happened.

You stated that your goals are:

1) To stop these ( file sharing ) sites

2) Protect intellectual property

3) Ban disgusting shit from the internet

The only thing that changed is CCBill processing for them

You haven't reached any of your goals

epitome · 06-14-2012, 07:01 PM

Good move, not just for all of the content owners, but for yourselves as well. The risk vs. reward just doesn't seem worth it.

With all of the attention a certain type of content is thankfully getting right now, you do not want to be staring down the barrel of that gun.

Major (Tom) · 06-14-2012, 07:02 PM

I'm impressed. Good work CCBill

This is a bit like a crim expressing remorse in front of a judge in the hope that he'll get a suspended sentence. I've never done it before, your honour, and I never will again.

BIGTYMER · 06-14-2012, 07:25 PM

ExtremeBank_Adam · 06-14-2012, 07:26 PM

Great job CCBill... from another happy (again) client.

alf6300 · 06-14-2012, 07:32 PM

Happy to hear that.
If you follow up properly, you are saving your business and your wealth with this decision.

T34K1DD · 06-14-2012, 07:42 PM

I am glad to hear this, but it was a little late. You knew what was going on before this. It has been stated by many webmasters on here that you jump down their throats for the wrong word or image or url, almost instantly. Next time, make the right decision, from the beginning.

Great to hear CCBill made the right choice on this issue.

vdbucks · 06-14-2012, 08:02 PM

I'm sorry but in our eyes the damage has already been done. CCBill knew what they were doing when they started processing for these file lockers, and if no one would have said anything - and if it didn't turn in to as huge an issue as it did - then they would still be processing for them.

baddog · 06-14-2012, 08:11 PM

I am not sure why people expect CCBill to fight trolls; that really is not their style. The fact that they listened, acted, then told us what was happening is pretty much what I would expect from them

Rome was not built in a day, and hearsay is just that.

why do you hide when you are online at gfy? I know it is a setting but people who hide anything, typically hide other things. Like your ICQ, I bet you hide that as well. Why?

It took what, two or three days for this big company to act? That's actually pretty damn quick for a larger company. There probably had to be numerous meetings, an opinion or three from counsel and a hundred other things for this to happen.

I think most people are used to working from home alone and forget how a larger company has to operate just because of all the moving pieces.

That is true. The people up top don't troll GFY. People hanging out here all day are more concerned with things like whether they should work naked or not

L-Pink · 06-14-2012, 09:09 PM

"CCBill relied on the ability of file locker websites to actively monitor incoming uploads from external sources"

I'm confused, I thought file lockers hid behind the fact they didn't monitor user uploads?

.

MrDeiz · 06-14-2012, 09:12 PM

it happened! great news

AdultKing · 06-14-2012, 09:46 PM

I think this is the right decision for CCBill, as to have continued processing for such sites would be unconscionable.
