If that traffic is high quality and available, someone will pay for it. If they can't pass it off to an endless list of networks, they'll sell it themselves, through their own sites and let people buy direct. If that can't work, they'll monetize it other ways (promoting their own offers etc). Pirate bay traffic converts well. End of story. If anyone wants their traffic to be off the market, piratebay has to be shut down. Going after advertiser after advertiser after advertiser doesn't change anything at all.
Another bad example can be seen at tubes - it is like they are forced to steal as much is possible content,as if other tube steal more content,then surfers will switch to it.
In the end,unless there is a law which will put an end to such practices,not much can be done.
