He gets paid twice one time from me and many times over by the file shares.I found another 3 similar offenders.

Then, I look at about another 20 or so of so called affiliates. Only 3 were legit content owners, the rest were just tube/blog schmucks, and even if they did NOT have my library ripped off they ALL had other pirated content . We have killed them all.

Now, I am NOT saying that all are bad actors BUT many are.
