If your content is posted there you need to contact Rapidshare or whatever other site it is hosted on and ask them to remove it. They are actually pretty good about it and will remove copyrighted content. That's not to say problem solved, but it is the only real recourse you have other than trying to cut off their funding.
Speaking of which, I thought AVN Ads said they were no longer allowing advertising on these sites...

Hopefully in the future that sort of off-site loophole will be closed. If you look at that forum in the section where they state what you're not allowed to post, they pretty much just say post anything that isn't underage, rather than don't post these site's content.
Also them giving specific instruction on how to rip movies, make thumb previews of ripped movies, how to host the content and where, shows they know exactly what they are doing and that they know that they're skirting the laws. The entire site is based around the intent to traded stolen content with the site owners being 100% behind it.
And if AVN says they don't allow those kinds of sites then their ads should be pulled.
