As far as lawsuits go, I don't have any good answers, but the legal teams probably cost a pretty penny, the theft is rampant, the government can't even deal with the theft of mainstream content, so they are not going to go to bat for the porn industry, and at first the overpaid lawyers will probably just sent out C&D letters anyway.

How do you frame a lawsuit against the mystery company operating out of the Netherlands or wherever? An international law suit, based upon a speculative amount of profit loss? By the end of the process the lawyers will be the only ones that make money from lawsuits as far as I can imagine.
You can send your own C&D and there are porn companies in Holland. They sue the ones there, if they have the will.

Protecting your copyrighted content can be done at a profit.

But you have to WANT to.
