The loss of billing appears to be tied to the "whipping" keyword, rather than to the actual content.

In my BDSM fetish niches, I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that a site billing with CCbill is not worth promoting, because CCbill can't be trusted to continue billing even for sites it initially approved.

As for all you smug bastards, you do realize that you're next, right? The powers that be (not CCbill, but the folks to whose tune CCbill is dancing) hate *your* porn just as much as they hate fetish porn. But there are a few more of you than there are of us, so they started with us. Classic divide and conquer tactics.

Old Ben said it best: "We must all hang together, or we shall most assuredly hang separately." I'll never understand how anybody in the porn business could fail to understand that.
