In fact if it will be introduced a sistematic and constant stop of advertising on pirate sites, as well as the current credit card sales stop we see since few months: this may be enough to make piracy no more profitable anywhere for anyone. Further, it may become even not sustainable for "no profit pirates" due to hosting costs, which need to be paid in any case. Both no uploaders affiliates or advertising, would leave only the option of donations via bank wires, quite unlikely an option.
I think there are only a few dozens of ad networks serving ads to pirates, and less than an hundreds of major final advertisers, so to "reach" all them it does not impossible 
Also often the domain name registrars are involved, see this about Enom:

This is the important part.

In a recent case filed at the Massachusetts District Court both these strategies were used by book publishers Elsevier and John Wiley & Sons. The two publishers filed a case against the Clicksor and Chitika advertising networks and the domain registrar Enom?s Whois Privacy Protection Service. The defendants were chosen because all provided services to Pharmatext.org, a site that offered pirated e-books.

This is open for everyone to do. How long before some traffic sellers here get hit?
