I do agree though that sponsors should step up to the plate and cancel accounts and withhold payment from people who are proven content theives.
Of course the problem is that as long as scum like AFF turn a blind eye everyone else knows that if they cancel the theives accounts that traffic will just go to their competition.
We need to treat these sites the way we treated warez sites back in the day, they couldn't make any money because no sponsor wanted their traffic.

as far as I am concered if one of your partners is advertising and making commissions on a site that is a problem to others, then it is also your fault for not catching it
I have paysites, I know EVERY site that people advertise my paysites on, I check it EVERY day, if someone was advertising one of my sites on a torrent site, I would feel just as responsible for not catching it
the issue with getting sponsors to all step up and say no to this type of site is that there is a very evident divide in the types of sponsors that exist now.....there is the "i don't care" group, and then there is the content producers
i don't care group is people like fleshlight, AFF, fling, etc....they don't have ANY reason to care about stolen content, and even if they know it IS stolen content, don't take shit down unless you ask them, even then it is hard
