50 Robbies on CNN

And you think all the pirates uploading it and downloading it, have the bills showing they paid for the original content they're backing up?

How stupid are you, or are you some guy employed by GFY to post stupidity to get replies?

Nothing is going to change until a mainstream media conglomerate (RIAA, MPAA) forces a change either through SOPA or major litigation. You're just not going get anyone to care enough to make laws to protect porn sites and the costs of such a lawsuit is out of the financial scope of all but maybe 2 or 3 of the top content producers. It sucks but it's true!

That said, I have no problem bringing to light the truth about paypal's hypocrisy. As with the fileshare sites themselves, they are well aware of what is going on and the nonsensical replies (if you're lucky to even get a reply) all builds up until we're now facing something drastic like SOPA, which, in the end, will just cause a bigger mess for everyone. It's a double-edged sword.

Guys do you think it would make sense to start with an online petition in which we try to convince PayPal to start processing for legit adult sites again and stop processing for piracy sites... explain to them why, etc. So we would start with the friendly approach, if that doesn't work we can try other things? I'll be happy to create this petition site.

That would be nice. But I don't think they will.

When they pulled the plug it cost people MILLIONS of dollars and there was a huge uproar from both the adult industry AND Paypals customer base. But they didn't care. They merged with EBAY and mad a public relations decision to keep it "clean".

But the situation has changed... they are processing for porn now, even though through backdoors and with the petition we offer them a friendly option to solve the problem. If they ignore it, at least we can say that we tried and move on to harder action.
