Nobody is advocating shutting down ad networks Markul.
All we are asking that Plugrush disincentives the use of their network by pirates.
They can do this easily by disabling ads on pirate sites which will stop other pirates thinking Plugrush is a pirate friendly network.
The only logical reason Plugrush would want to keep those ads running is that it wants to keep benefiting from the clicks from piracy sites. This is bad for the whole industry as right now there are a multitude of sites popping up with stolen content and PlugRush advertising.
So far we have found hacked password sites, direct download sites, release logs, file locker download blogs and other file locker eco system sites monetizing using Plugrush. What the critics are basically saying is that this is ok, just wear it. The critics are saying PlugRush should allow piracy on it's network rather than stop it dead in it's tracks.
Some pirate sites may never remove the ad zones, which means that all this piracy related traffic is entering the network. Piracy traffic includes the people who use stolen credit cards to buy site memberships and then rip them. None of that is good for anyone.
