What do "you" suggest? Everybody refuse to do business with anybody connected with piracy? That's like playing 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon...everything is intertwined one way or another.
Hosting companies, billers, paysites, etc. can all be "connected" in some way shape or form. So that isn't gonna work.
Look...I've said it over and over and over...NOBODY can tell somebody else what to do. If you decide to become the biggest pirate in the world, there isn't a goddamn thing I can do about it. And you can "roam among us" and I can't stop you. Most of us live in free countries.
There is no "WE" in any of this. You can't blame affiliates who have money and rebills tied up with Jug Cash for instance. They can't just walk away and not pay their bills and lose their homes and cars, etc.
You can't jump on a hosting company for taking in accounts that will make them more money than all other accounts combined.
You can't blame billing companies for doing their business.
The ONLY people to blame are the SCUMBAGS that own the pirate sites. They are the ones making money off of stolen content directly. If they hadn't done it...there would be no problem.
I'm just sayin'...I get tired of reading how "We" are not good business people, or how "We" destroyed "ourselves"
Bullshit. Thieves did it.

i hear you. but like you said, we're all intertwined... and so closely so that if we attempted to ostracize everyone connected to the thieves, we'd end up at ourselves at some point. me included. that's where the 'we' comes from.
as far as being bad business people. we aren't, you're right. we're just in a biz with few checks & balances. so some people took advantage of that just to get a buck and fucked it up for everyone. much like the real estate market, the good went down with the scumbags.
