A lot of these forums are making money off the back of us with stolen content posts and PayPal seems to be a preferred method of payment for the "V.I.P Areas" of said forums. Just last week I was notified of a forum by another program owner that had loads of our content on it which we since have had removed. PayPal was being used to process on this forum and it looks like the other program owners had success in getting their account closed.

On a far greater scale how is it that Rapidshare can get PayPal to process for them when they are single biggest violator of stolen content? Perhaps as far as PayPal is concerned they need to be exposed to the mainstream media as I get the feeling they are turning a blind eye to it.

Its time we started circling the wagons and start hitting the likes of forums hard. Can we really afford not to especially in the current economic climate?
