Exactly, which is why you don't see AK going after them. He much rather take the easy kills with sites that have absolutely nothing to do with piracy in the first place. His analogy is akin to, and I'll put it in a porn context that everyone can understand, like a tube site and sponsors.

A tube tube promotes sponsors, so, a sponsor is supporting a tube site by accepting the traffic and making sales off of it. However, You do not see AK going after adult affiliate programs and having their credit card processing shut down because they accept traffic from a tube site. A sponsor program getting promoted by a tube site is no different than a link shortening website getting promoted by a pirate. He has a huge double standard.
