Well, I really think for a billing company it's asked a bit too much to screen complete sites of clients for copyright violations and contact possible content owners to ask if a video is licensed or not.
It's nice to see Verotel do it, but I don't think it's something you can expect. CCBill came here, explained their very fair policy on this and will shutdown the site as soon as multiple DCMA notices arrive. It may be obvious that mentioned content is stolen, but legal reality and common sense are often different, so they want to back up any actions against a client with a DCMA from the content owner, which is totally understandable in my book.
I'm one of the first to scream "shut them down" whenever a torrent, tube, lowlife thread pops up, but CCBill is handling this in a very professional and reasonable way.
