Before I am attacked in turn for asking obviously relevant questions (that seems to be what happens to me and others who dare ask them) - please allow me to clarify why I ask:

I find it extremely tasteless to publicly accuse a company of funding pirates, while what probably happened was that said company bought a XX advertisement deal (ex. a CPM deal) via a broker. This broken might have MILLIONS of websites under them and terms stipulating something... like don't have pirated content on websites displaying our banners.

Because it's not really humanly possible to manually check every single website for this broker - unless they hire a thousand monkeys and put the costs on their customers (= go out of business), they probably choose to trust that people follow their guidelines. Do some spot checks and then react when sites are reported in a timely manner, say something like 2-5 business days.

So assuming this is what's going on (and I know I am not the smartest tool in the shed). I'd bet that the right way would be this:

1. Someone finds something illegal or nasty going on with a site then goes to the advertiser and say: Hey, I saw your ad on this nasty website. Here is the URL, I think you should complain to someone.

2. Advertiser goes to broker and complains.

3. Broker disables website.

Everyone is happy.

If broker does not disable website or if advertiser does not react to complaint, I am sure there are legal avenues to go for if your rights are violated.

But instead. Shit is posted in public for what end I ask? It sure as shit can't be getting results, because who knows if BongaCash or the advertisement platform is even reading this forum. I'd say their e-mail or phone would be a better place to start.

At the end of the day, this just display the enormous ineptitude of AK's way of handling things.

Please note that I am not defending BongaCash in any way because I have no relationship with them and don't even think I've ever visited their website or whatever advertiser agency they are using (if any) - I react because this type of behavior is just plain wrong and distasteful.
