Damian, have you ever considered seeing someone about your obsessive behaviour ?
Since this thread started you've railed against the idea, why is that ?
Undoing almost 10 years of unchecked piracy is going to take more than a year or two - especially when some of the largest pirate sites make millions of dollars and can leverage that money to keep switching merchant accounts or hiding behind other entities for processing.
Even the process of identifying a new merchant account can take a couple of months, so 6 merchant account switches takes a year of investigation as each one is found and then shut down - and I can assure you we're nowhere near a satisfactory level of merchant account mitigation because the card associations and their networks mean that dealing with these issues is extremely complex.
If a file locker pops up with Paypal, Moneybookers, TrueMoney, Payza then we can shut that down right away - in a day or two. With merchant accounts it takes months. We're working to improve that time frame and this involved lobbying, which is why Adult IP was formed.
Anyway, I keep coming back to the same question - why are you so obsessed ? You don't produce content, you don't really have a serious role in relationship to rights ownership, so what's in it for you to keep bagging this effort ?
If you think that somehow we're going to stop what we're doing - then you're going to be disappointed.
