Advertisers play ZERO role in what gets posted to the infringing website. They MIGHT be helping them to stay open, but that is virtually impossible to prove since there could be other sources of income for the site or even just operating at a loss until buyout.

Contributory infringement would actually be for the tube site itself since the direct infringer would be the surfer who uploaded it.
I believe you're wrong. These sponsors can go after the sites like AFF, Brazzers, etc.. who monetize these sites and capture some of the money they've earned. They should check with their legal advisors.
