But for pirates it is the essence of what they're doing. And no other group will even understand what a forum named UploaderTalk could be about.
Pretty much all hosts promoted at your site were featured and SFL at some point or their "careers", all of them were losing payment options, not in the least through AK's efforts. Such as Ultramegabit.com for example which got a special treatment at SFL, and still is one of the preferred hosts at many blatant piracy sites such as Rlslog.net.

Many file lockers run a thin veil over their service by doing cheesy success stories.
One example involved filesonice, right before they shut down they showed an artist who had success sharing his artwork via filesonic.
Understanding the ecosystem takes a little bit of an education, more than the average citizen is willing to spend time on. In all cases I've talked to people even lightly about it they were completely confused. It's the reason it's so easy to brainwash the citizens on why SOPA and PIPA were so bad (as radical as they were). Instead AK is laying in place
taking effective measures to kill off rogue merchant accounts with companies rather than just whimsy court orders getting executed and having people scream over destruction of internet freedom.
If good practices are setup and
maintained with billing and merchant services companies then new laws may not be necessary.
A business model could be made of helping companies maintain this with someone like AK.
