haha, I'd be better suited for just providing insights. It's an interest to me because right now I'm mostly just an affiliate and it tears at me as well.

Plus they're one of the most resilient Cyberlockers out there compared to the rest. As to Warez BB that's already on the govs list.

Yes, you are right about oron being the worst and owning some forums, where they make a ton of money.
Paypal maintains an image of a clean company but like anyone else they'll turn a blind eye if it means a lot of cash and in this instants the filehosts do turn over a lot of revenue. If you can get a consensus and somehow let the public know that they help sell memberships that provide access to things such as bestiality and CP you might have a fighting chance.
A bit of a smear campaign but that's the only new thing I see here that may cause some alarm. Some of you may have better ideas.
Some of it is all a matter of where the hosts reside to, I know some filehosts in russia are known to retain illegal files for a very long time and probably not worry too much. Oron is in the Netherlands I believe so they don't fret too much. I'm out of my element though when it comes to the legal and political grounds of taking action against them.
All this would probably do is make filehosts revamp their reporting to probably remove everything immediately that was considered illegal rather than copyright. Because a harsh sentence for distributing a movie out and costing hundreds of thousands of dollars of revenue to a big movie studio may get you a year in some circumstances. A download of a .rar file containing sexually deviant things may get you 5-10 years.
This is really a hard problem to solve, at least even mitigating it.
