That list is a list of sites killed, several different organisations are involved in fighting piracy, everyone plays their part.
When we publish terminations or payment processing shutdowns we say

I'm sorry, but that just isn't true. Hotfile lost Paypal accounts on a regular basis. Whenever they lost an account they would just open a new one, and whenever you clicked the Paypal button on their site they were able to mask it so Paypal couldn't determine it was coming from Hotfile. They also had a shitload of resellers and alternative payment processors. They closed because of an 80 million dollar settlement with the MPAA, not because they lost a single Paypal account. You honestly think a Paypal account had anything to do with it, like they would have stayed open if they hadn't lost that account?
Again not trying to bust your balls, but I can remember them getting Paypal accounts closed back in late 2007. I can't remember if it was Eric from Remove Your Content or someone else on here who made life hell for them for a while...
