Clips4Sale was founded by a man who was into the scene on a personal level. He was always been incredibly fair and considerate to everyone. In recent years, he sold to a larger company- at least partially. I don't know the details but am pretty sure he still has some control. Even now he is still available, even to the point of offering his private cell phone number, to anyone who needs assistance or advise. Great man. They have never allowed pirated content. I am pretty sure that Iwantclips, also, has never allowed pirated content.

As far as the credit cards being decline, one of the things that C4S had going for it was a seamless roll over of merchants. If one declined the card because it was an adult purchase, it automatically rolled to an other one, and then another one and however many it took. That was the genius of the founder, Neil. So, it isn't Iwantclips, denying your purchase. It is Visa and Mastercard. Every year, they become more and more difficult for adult businesses to work with. They call it "Scrubbing," where they commonly flag adult purchases more often than mainstream ones. We've probably all had mainstream purchase, like vacuum cleaners or lawnmowers flagged for fraud. Visa/Mastercard, just turn up the volume on the scrutiny of adult purchases.
