Mastercard already losing out to Visa, now they going to lose more. Why don't they stop all credit card belong to copyright infringer?

rapishare makes 60 Mio a year with 52 employees. They have 10 Petabyte capacity on their servers. I really doubt any credit card company will piss them off.

Mastercard's just shooting it's self in the foot again. It's not like it's going to hurt anyone. Then again it sure makes them look like there "fighting piracy"

Didn't Paypal do the same for some sites?

yep, it makes them look like "fighting piracy" , vice verse might also happen

This is the reason some share sites are now using alternative locations to conduct transactions with the credit card companies.
