Here's why.

If ad zones remain active:

1. We have no way of knowing who is active and who isn't active if ads are being displayed.
2. There are advertisers (such as your pills advertisers) who benefit from the ads on pirate website therefore indirectly benefiting from piracy.
3. There should be clear demarkation between Plugrush as a responsible ad network and pirate sites as infringers against intellectual property.

When Google kill publishers of piracy sites the adzones default to community service ads within 24 hours. Then stop displaying ads altogether soon after.

A responsible ad network doesn't want to be associated with piracy. I don't understand why Plugrush would want their name, their reputation associated with piracy sites.

There are examples we have posted where the Plugrush logo is clearly displayed on the site. Why would a responsible ad network want this ?
