I said "prosecutions", not "investigations". I can fill out a web form and get an investigation number from ICE. How many actual prosecutions has your system generated?
I've been an information architect designing secure content systems for governments and military clients for well over a decade. I promise you there are existing DRM technologies that do work and defeat all capture methods even videotaping a monitor if it comes to that.
The hold up on wide spread use has been a combination of limitations imposed by classified status and the need for computer hardware to cycle through the market. The older versions of this are becoming available outside of military and government markets now but even those beat anything you've seen in the commercial sphere by miles. Nothing has prevented the entertainment industry from developing the same capabilities other than misinformation and an industry mind set based on outdated methods. (Like spending millions to buy lawmakers vs. developing other solutions).
There are plenty of alternate payment methods already popular w/ the piracy crowd and there will be more. The conversion to spendable cash is easy and they can obtain everything they need including servers without ever needing a credit card.
Keep up the good work though, someone needs to do it and I do applaud the change in tactics to going after the payment processor accounts. I completely disagree that it solves everything, however.
I stand by my position that while it's necessary to keep the small fish under control the big players such as the organized crime rings will only grow stronger. You won't change the law enforcement picture in some of those places for at least another 10-20 years if that soon.
