It is not his data to sell or even use, it is not even a grey area, and the last thing that anybody here should be doing is giving any advice to this guy or anybody that could potentially be selling credit card numbers to the kind of people who would be in the market to buy such data.

Go back and read what I said. It had nothing to do with his data base of info or if it is right or wrong. As I said in my last post, my reply was about Barefootsies' post, which was about him giving ideas to monetize that list. Even then, my post wasn't even TO Barefootsies. It was to someone else who replied to Barefootsies saying he was wrong for giving his opinion on the matter.
FYI... if you are in this business, your data has been stolen at one time or another. You just didn't know it. Criminals have their hands in every aspect of this industry. I could drop some bombshells if I wanted to but I'd probably get sued.
And what lynch mob? Far-L is probably one of the most respected guys posting in this thread and he does business with the biggest pirate operation IN THE WORLD, but doesn't have a problem with it. Why not? Because he makes money from them. Steal everyone's content for years and help destroy the very industry you are in, no problem if people can profit from it. Steal a date base of information and try to sell it, you're scum of the earth. Not to pick on Far-L, but I'm just making a point.
Lastly, I still don't give a shit. Why? For the same reason I don't give a shit that some unnamed village in Afghanistan was bombed into dirt today by my government. Sure, both events are most unfortunate, and in the latter case very sad and unjust, but what can I do about it? Should I lose sleep over the fact this guy *may* have some data base full of guys who spend money in a casino? Should I write my congressman? Should I vote for Obama? Should I boycott casinos? Tell me, please, what should I do? Because other than not giving a shit, I can't think of anything to do.
