Porn Site Suing Credit Card Companies Because That's Where The Money Is

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.
