Oh I didn't realise extabit lost their paypal, that's excellent news.
It would be extremely nice to see rapidgator go down though, they are one of the big 'medium fish', the one most uploaders use to earn from.
As for the 'serious ones', AlexShark:
Largest = the professionals, e.g. rapidshare, filefactory, mediafire, they all have actual corporations behind them and lawyers. These deal with piracy as required and do not fund pirates.
Largest Paying = rapidgator.net, fiberupload.com, shareflare.net, extabit.com, letitbit.net (owns shareflare) and a few more. They are run by unprofessional individuals or shady partnerships. Some in the past have ended up being owned 'secretly' by legitimate internet companies.
Going after the professionals would be pointless, they aren't really causing as much damage actually, they know about the piracy and work to remove it. The unprofessional ones, the paying ones, directly advertise to pirates and pay them.
So yeah, go after the paying hosts.
