Paul, I'm sure that relatively the profit on ripped content is much lower than on legit sales from paysites. If you would be a porn addict scanning the web for free porn, would you pay for an account at a filelocker that allows you to download everything for free already anyway? So a lot of damage is done to content producers, only for producing little profit for a few thieves. As many wrote many times before already, most of these pirates are in Russia and over there, making a few hundred dollars from home makes you the king of the village.
It's like someone stealing your $10,000 Quad stereo set and selling it for $100 dollars. He's happy with his $100 dollars, you lost $10,000. There's no way that these content thieves individually make anything that comes near what content producers make. I do believe though that the people behind the filelockers make good money.
