Involve mainstream companies too
Even though mainstream companies dont want to associate with "adult" stuff in any shape or form, this may be one opportunity where they may be able to back up the campaign in the long run by providing manpower, help and funds. A cursory search for expensive softwares and applications on google brings out thousands upon thousands of links to pirated copies of these uploaded to various filehosting sites. The damage done is literally in millions of $.
Another target to bring down could be the various forums that blatantly allow such links to be posted on their boards. In an ironic twist to the tale, many of the boards were killed by file lockers as their only source of income (restricted area subscriptions) dried out quickly. The ad supported model does not even pay for server cost so lots of them have folded up or are sick of pirates using their forums for making money. Once the free forums are removed from the picture, pirates will find it very difficult to manage thousands of downloads for the pirated booty. No downloads, no sales = no money
