There is no denying that AK and team's persistent work in removing main source of payments to theives has put this industry in ICU. However I was expecting to see dozens of sites to fold up within first month itself but for some strange reason, some have survived and continue to struggle. Most clients will be very hesitant to use russia based unknown payment processors and there is hardly anyone of repute processing for file sharing sites any more. The ad revenue is next to nothing, wont even buy groceries these days let alone pay for server bills. By not paying upload monkeys some sites have bought themselves enough time to recoup script cost but still, I expected to see the field riddled with corpses.
Hasn't happened yet.
