I can't speak for AK or his experience but my feeling is that the card companies have always wanted to stay away from piracy like they do from other illegal activities.

The issue becomes managing the websites, reviewing them, etc. Who decides if it is piracy?

To experienced webmasters like you and I we can see it instantly and understand the process the pirates are using to make dollars.

Can an executive at Visa corporate headquarters do the same?

Would Visa and the others invest in creating an entirely new department to review piracy complaints?

I don't think so... They may say they will, may put out a press release, may even create a page where we could report, but to actually investigate and take action... nah... not likely unless somebody stays on them day after day after day.

To them, because they don't see themselves being hurt, they just don't take the time or make the investment.
