Porn Site Suing Credit Card Companies Because That's Where The Money Is
from the don't-sue-the-people-who-actually-did-something dept
It's no secret that pornographic pictures from one porn site quickly get copied to plenty of other porn sites. It seems that one porn site is taking an interesting strategy in trying to deal with this issue. Instead of going after those who copied the pictures, they've decided to sue the credit card companies that process payments for the sites that have copied their photos. The official reasoning is that they're suing the credit card companies for copyright infringement because the credit card companies are profiting off of the transactions on these other sites. That these credit card companies haven't actually infringed on any copyrights doesn't seem to enter the picture. This is, of course, the typical response to the "who do you sue?" question. The answer is always "the company with the most money" - even if that company hasn't actually done anything wrong.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
