From the point of view of a content owner, it makes sense to want all the small ones gone, even if that increases the power and size of the 'big fish'. It sounds logical because you'd have removed many, many filehosts.
However, having such logic means you're completely ignoring the fact that the already-large ones will become even larger, even harder to take down and even more full of pirated content.
In which case, was it really worth removing only the small ones and allowing the big ones to grow?
Why not put all effort into removing the larger filehosts instead?
The rest will panic and hide, removing all of their affiliate programs, slowly dying off. The exact same thing happened when megaupload was taken down, all of the paying filehosts immediately stopped all payments and eventually died off.
