It's funny that there are some (new fake nicks) in this thread who think that having a large site's payment processing shut down is as simple as picking up the phone and reporting a site.

Each takedown requires a large number of man hours to investigate, analyse, collate and then report all of the information needed to present a credible case, then once we have done that it takes even more investigation on the part of the payment processor.

The larger the site, the higher the workload and it tends to scale logarithmically. We have put in well over 200 hours on one very large site and have only just begun discussing our report on it with payment processors - it will be a couple of weeks before action is taken by the processors , if any action is taken at all.

Then there are other legal considerations to consider which I am not at liberty to disclose but anyone with any common sense would realise that there are many different agencies and groups interested in commercial piracy.

It's easy for the fake nick nobodies, people with no clout at all in this or any other industry, to criticise. My advice is that if you think you can do it better then just go and do it rather than whining about it in this thread.
