Or do you want us to disable them just for your own sake, so you can see if they are banned or not?
After we ban them, it's usually only gonna take a couple of days until they replace our widgets with ads from some other network, so then you'll know..
So are you saying that you don't charge for the clicks on each of those banners ? The advertisers are getting those clicks for free ?

The whole idea is to break the cycle of piracy by removing the incentive , be that incentive be born out of revenue, traffic or anything else.
