The thing is even if PR really is delivering the traffic for free to the advertisers it is still benefitting the advertisers and plugrush because it sweetens the deal for them. Plugrush can give their whales the traffic from the pirate sites in order to keep them around. Then other networks who might try to be honest such as say Juicy Ads then have to compete against this.
But the whole problem is that the traffic was generated using someone else's content so really PR is giving away something which really isn't theirs to give away in the first place. It would be like me giving my neighbor's car away to a neighboring business and saying "I am helping the economy".
