I think most would gladly donate if they could verify results. I agree that cutting off the money is key and so far it sounds like Paypal is a big part of that but how easy is it for a locker to open a new Paypal account? If they are blocked indefinitely then that's progress but if they can just open another account and continue on business as usual then it's about as effective as DMCA.

And that is why porn as an industry has always failed to do anything against piracy (or anything for that matter). No one gives a shit about anyone else and unless results can be directly and instantly measured they are not interested.
Here is a guy who is accomplishing things no one else has been able to do before (not even the Music industry or Hollywood) and is making serious progress on seriously limited funds, yet few can be bothered to support him even if it is only $25 or a thread bump. Yet the largest companies who could actually fund him properly (but don't) have no problems throwing away large amounts of money to worthless organizations like the FSC.
We are our own worst enemy. And this is why in the end the criminals will win and the honest people will lose or have their income drastically reduced, as most are seeing now.
Look at what has been done already with very little funding, just a couple of people, and a short amount of time. Then imagine the damage that could be done with a properly funded and staffed operation.
