They never again need to purchase content from her or even use google to fish for it, they simply befriend each other on that piracy site and go back day after day to get access to everything the model does because no matter what paywall she sets up for a piece of content, at least 1 out of the bunch will purchase and upload. And they all know this so they pass because they know it's a matter of waiting 30 minutes and finding it there for free. You see what the problem is? Models are losing their communities, not because they are tired of the model, but because this piracy network makes it possible to continue to be a fan and a part of a community but away from the model who is at the center of it, and instead of giving back to her by purchasing her content and being part of her shows, and putting money in her pocket and the pocket of the camsite and of the affiliate who first introduced them to the camsite she works on, instead, they are not spending, keeping their money in their pockets, and clicking on the jerkfest of banners this lowlife is lining our videos with. All financed by Stripchat.
So when one of you sees one of your whales is dropping from your Chaturbate affiliate account stats... instead of raging against models "stealing affiliates" consider it is just as likely that this whale found this piracy network and has decided to stop spending since he can now get everything he wants for free.

If your scenario was true, then the pirated site owner wouldn't be making any money from his cam affiliate links since all the content was right there already for the visitor. The overwhelming majority of spenders on a cam site do so because of the live interaction they can have with the model, something they can't achieve on a tube/video site.
Since you've been battling this site's affiliate accounts for 5+ years and it's still doing the same thing, have you tried any alternative avenues? I realize that going after his hosting is most likely pointless, but just curious what
