They are not allowed to return to Paypal, if they do the accounts are closed and they see no money.
We have been shutting off far more than Paypal.
Thus far we have hit the merchant facilities of dozens of file hosts, third party processors and resellers.
We've been operating only six months, in that time we have virtually wiped out the bottom end of the file sharing industry bar a few hangers on and we have seriously wounded the upper end of the industry.
One site we have hit several times is Rapidgator. This is a site which presents real problems to rights holders as it is poised to exceed Rapidshare for traffic share.
We're trying to dismantle a very profitable industry that has been set up over many years, our progress in six months is unprecedented.
